  • The Writing Life - Episode 4: Goals vs Systems
    (If you’re a subscriber reading this in email, please click to website to use the audio player.)
    In this week’s three-minute podcast, I share a few thoughts in response to an article by Jeff Haden in Inc. about the difference between goals and systems. After you listen, I'd love to hear some of your own responses both to the podcast and to the questions below.
    Do you tend to set goals and resolutions at the turn of the new year? How effective are they? 
    Do you have goals for this year?
    Would systems work better for you than goals alone?
    What systems might you incorporate into your writing life this year to help you make steady progress toward your goal(s)?

  • The Writing Life – Episode 3: Collaboration with Charity Singleton Craig
    (If you’re a subscriber reading this in email, please click to website to use the audio player.)
    In this week's three-minute podcast, I interview my coauthor and friend Charity Singleton Craig about our collaboration, asking about some of the challenges and joys associated with our work together writing On Being a Writer.
    Her responses make me wonder about the collaboration experiences of my readers and listeners.
    After you listen to Charity's response, I'd love to hear your answers to these questions:
    What challenges did you face when you collaborated on a creative project and how did you work through them?
    Have your collaboration projects been filled with enough joy to balance out the challenges?
    Would you collaborate again? If so, what would you do differently? If not...why not?

    When over the past week might you have rescued lost time to work toward a writing deadline?

    What tool or tools might you use to start rescuing lost time?

    Learn more about:

    • Google docs

    • Learn more about using your phone as a mobile hotspot and contact your cell phone provider for pricing.
