The Authorpreneur Podcast - Writing & Self Publishing Tips

I think accountability is a beautiful thing. And I realise that’s a super nerdy thing to say. So, what do I mean by accountability? Basically, I’m referring to accountability in terms of setting and striving towards writing goals. In this episode, I’m going to share with you my business and writing goals for the next quarter. As you can expect, I’m going to share an update on my successes and failures from the first quarter of 2019.

And I’m going to discuss a new writing-related tool that I’m using to revise Missing. That tool is new to me but has been around for a while. This tool has evolved over time. As I’m using this tool, I’m watching the help videos, and I’ve noticed the version in the videos is slightly different from the version I’m currently using. It’s good to see the product has evolved over time, which is what you want when purchasing a piece of software.

It appears that I have a lot of tasks to complete over the next quarter. However, many of these tasks are larger goals broken down into tiny steps just to make things a little easier for me.
