Description

Is writing well hard work? It certainly can be. And even the best writers know that it’s a journey that never ends, that we always have to be learning and growing and improving.

But that goes for more than just the CRAFT of writing. It goes for being a writer too.

Have you ever paused to think about that?

How do you react when rejections come? Hard critiques? Nasty reviews? How do you deal with the stress of multiple deadlines? Prioritizing your time? Dealing with edits you may or may not agree with? How should you interact with readers? Other writers? Publishing professionals? Do you know whether systems and structure make you thrive or feel constricted? Have you sorted out how to bring your emotions out authentically?

These questions are every bit as important as “what genre do you write?” and “what’s the structure of your book?”
