Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors! Here in Aotearoa New Zealand we have been celebrating Matariki, the Maaori New Year. This had inspired me to reflect on how the year has been going and what I hope to accomplish in the next six months. In today's episode I encourage a moment of reflection to check in with yourself and ask: Are you on track to create a writing life you love, and are you meeting the goals you've set for yourself? Are you spending your time and energy doing those things most essential to your writing success? If not, what do you need to change? Do you have clear financial goals in place, and have you been doing the work to break down any money or success blocks standing in your way? What self-care practices do you already have in place, and what might you need to schedule in to protect yourself from author burnout? And most importantly, are you enjoying the journey? You will definitely want a pen and journal for this episode! If you're enjoying this podcast please remember to subscribe, rate and review.
