#24: Healthy Living, Healthy Writing: 3 Ways to Take Care of Yourself as an Author

Are health issues holding you back from living your best creative lifestyle?When I first started teaching authors how to dictate their novels, I thought the main reason authors would want to learn dictation would be to write faster. But now, after teaching dictation to thousands of authors, I’ve discovered that writing faster is taking a backseat as the number one reason authors want to dictate. More and more, authors are turning to dictation because of health struggles—chronic pain, repetitive strain injuries, even fatigue from long writing sessions.This week on the Confident Fiction Author podcast, I’m diving into three essential ways to protect your physical health as an author.While this episode isn't all about dictation, the conversations I've had and the health conditions I see authors coping with inspired me to tackle methods you can use to take care of your physical health.Whether you are currently dealing with health issues that are preventing you from living your best creative lifestyle or you're looking for prevention, this episode will help you stay creative and keep writing for years to come.***Free resources for you:The Confident Fiction Author Toolkit: fictioncourses.com/toolkitDictation + Scrivener Power Combo Mini Course: fictioncourses.com/dictationDictation for Authors: Tools and Tips of the Trade: fictioncourses.com/dictationguide5 Stereotypes to Avoid When Writing about Native Americans: fictioncourses.com/stereotypes
