Podcast: How to be an Author
Episode: The biggest predictor of writing success: prioritizing your writing. Here's how to do it.
Description: Ever wondered why some authors succeed? Why they have a collection of published novels, engaged readers, attention from the media, glowing reviews, the opportunity to participate in book signings, and basically the kind of writer life you may have dreamed of? Writing success- at least, of the "bestselling author" variety, is not guaranteed. But in general, it boils down to this: success in writing isn't just about finding a spare moment here and there to jot down a few words. It's not just about finally finishing your book. It's about making writing an absolute priority.Â
