3 BIG TAKEAWAYS

  1. Focusing too much on productivity can be...unproductive
  2. Writing is a process and focus on the process instead of the results (especially rejections)
  3. Don’t be afraid of the business of writing

EPISODE INFO:
Last time on the interview series I talked to professional editor, Ericka Baldwin. She had so much information about how to find an editor, what to do when you're done with your first draft, and more! 

But today we're talking about productivity, what to look for in a routine, how to approach your day, how to handle rejection. Plus, what to think about if you're looking for a writing coach and more! 

Paulette Perhach is an amazing writer, coach, and all around hilarious human being. You're going to really love this interview!
