Three moves from Season 1 you can apply right now

Move 1: Consistency over intensity
Schedule two writing blocks each week. Put them on your calendar and protect them like meetings.

Move 2: Relationship first
Healthy relationships are important. Check in with team members and collaborators, clarify roles early, and practice gratitude often.

Move 3: Fit before prose
Before you write, assess fit. If the fit is not strong, save your time and energy for a better opportunity.
