During this episode of Diving into Writing, Lucinda and Mariëlle reflect on their progress this year and what goals they’ve been hitting (and which not…). 

Here’s what came up during the episode:

  • Both Lucinda and Mariëlle are doing better goal-wise than they thought (which is becoming a bit of a pattern!) 
  • Mariëlle needs to change the way she sets her long-term fiction goals so she stops disappointing herself despite being happy with her practice
  • Lucinda needs to stop planning her writing and the rest of her life as if she only has one year left to get it all done
  • What is Diving into Writing?

    Diving into Writing is a podcast, brought to you by two indie authors, where we discuss best practices to create a sustainable writing career and encourage fellow writers to listen to what their hearts and souls want them to create.

    Who is Diving into Writing for?

    Any writer who seeks to honour their creative impulses. We are here to make you feel less alone on this journey and inspire you to stay true to yourself in your life and your creative work.

    What are our promises to you?

    In sharing our creative experiences with you openly and honestly, we aim to create a safe space where you can be honest about your creative dreams and desires.

    Why listen to us?

    We look beyond the surface of our writing practice. By diving deeply and reflecting on our own creative struggles and obstacles, we broach topics only some in the writing community are willing or ready to have.
