writing goals

It's time to pull back the curtain and discuss how the sausage gets made. Sadie Dean and Jeanne Veillette Bowerman dive deep into their writing process, making goals, sharing a zillion resources they use to get words on the page and thoughts on juggling a crazy life with trying to be creative.

This one has more resources than we even realized, and even more to come, so check back later for Sadie's list of writing books!

And, of course, Jeanne talks about graves. No shock there.

External validation, internal fulfillment, and satisfying your soul . . .

How do you define success? Is it financial? Is it lifestyle? Is it accolades?

This seems to be a hot topic lately, and keeps coming up in our interviews and conversations, so we decided to tackle the issue head on in this duo episode. We've each developed goals and strategies to move our writing careers forward, but what does "success" actually look like?

Success is different for everyone, and right now we're on opposite sides of the spectrum despite having the same Enneagram personality type. Listen in as we get vulnerable on air!

Make sure to download the Author Strategy Template at www.AuthorWheel.com/stuff, available for free when you join our newsletter.

Question of the week: How do you define success, and how do you celebrate it? Let's chat on the Facebook page @AuthorWheel.
