Mini Episode: What if I Don't Have Time to Write?
Tuesday Dec 25, 2018
Tuesday Dec 25, 2018
This week I, (host Rebecca Galardo), discuss another much asked question with Author and Teacher Holly Lisle. If you're looking for one of the most cited reasons that people use for not writing, it's time.
Time is a precious commodity, one of the few things in life that truly cannot be replaced. There is no getting it back and so many people want to take it up. Carving out space for our passions can be difficult when it comes to daily obligations. Holly covers how to find the time in your life, but just as important, how to find the why in your life.

The Writing Career - What if You had to do it ALL Over Again?
I, (host Rebecca Galardo) and Author/Teacher Holly Lisle went a different route this episode. Holly was struck by a question in her personal Patreon. "What if you had to do it all over again?"
What would you do differently?
Holly takes this question on from two perspectives: starting over in her own already set life's timeline, or starting as a writer might be starting now, in the world of Indie and Trad pub options.
A complex question with a myriad of answers, there is something for any aspiring writer to learn in this episode, most of which is: all you have is right now.
