April's Business Blog
03rd April 2023
Spring is here and, gosh, these months are flying by, aren’t they?
That sentence appears to be the main stay in most of my blogs and newsletters*. But the sentiment stands.
Although time is a human constraint, and we all enjoy the same twenty-four hours, days do seem to rush by. Perhaps it is how we fill them that makes them seem that way, and by ‘we’ I mean me. I confess, I tend to fill my days to the brim, but then I’m goal and deadline oriented. I find they focus the mind and leave no time for that dreaded procrastination (although some days it finds me and holds me captive. I’m not perfect.)
Since February, I’ve been utterly focused on writing another book. This time it’s for a traditional publisher. It’s been quite the ride so far. I have a host of independently published books under my belt, so writing one for a traditional publisher is an interesting move. My usual writing process has been reinforced somewhat because I signed a contract (ooh, serious stuff!), so I feel compelled to sit at my desk until it is complete. I’m almost there. I’m quite happy with my output.
So, my question is…how do you fill your days? Would you benefit from a bit of motivation to start or finish your book? If you like the idea of working with a writing coach, there are a few programmes on my site that give you finer details of what to expect along the way. Why not take a look? And if a monthly, less intense programme seems more you, I’m starting the Monthly Coaching Group again soon too. Just get in touch and we can discuss your specific needs.
Lastly, some of you may notice through a Facebook post that Season 9 of my podcast, The Versatile Writer, will be delayed until nearer the summer. Until then, there are eight seasons to revisit, all free of charge.
Until next month, I wish you many hours of productive writing,
Sjb😊
