IAD Ep11: Not the one thing & Dealing with distractions

Indie author diaries

As an indie author, writing from home, there are plenty tasks to do, and there are plenty things that can distract you from getting the writing done.In this episode Lisa & Sarah chat about: *Their main distractions (cleaning, phone calls, coffee dates, researching, TV shows, groups and more) and the strategies they're currently using to minimise them. *What "the one thing" is, and why your long term writing career is better when you stop waiting for it to happen. *Holidays to recharge and reduce burnout, and as a source of new story ideas (Lisa chats about her recent holiday to the USA) *Meeting author buddies in real life (Lisa & Sarah met for the first time) *Their goals for the next year. (Sarah's got a new method she's been using for the last few weeks and she's got a lot done, and Lisa's got developmental editing notes back from her editor).
