Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors! In this solo episode I share a look at my day-job as a teacher and the lessons I’ve learnt that impact upon my writing life. Some of the topics I discuss include: · How writing Fan-Fiction can make you a better writer. · How to move beyond just using the Hero’s Journey as a plotting device, but also how to use it to help guide you through the ups and downs of your author career. · How to move past feeling that everything is about you! · Why people pleasing can be a recipe for disaster if you want a successful writing career. · Why being called consistent made me bawl like a baby! · The habits you need to embrace to ensure the longevity of your author career. Whatever your day-job, life situation, or the state of your author career, listen as I share my insights from the classroom to guide you towards making 2024 your best writing year yet!
