from Writer Craft Podcast · host Valerie Ihsan
(Main Topic): Wheel of Life overview: health, friends/family, significant other, personal growth, fun and leisure, home environment, career, money What is your satisfaction in these areas? Goal: level them out for a smoother ride. It's not to increase all the levels to 10. Ask instead: What # do you want this section to be at? What needs to happen for you to get that # where you want it to be? Wheel of Writing Life: Health (Are you fit enough to sit at a desk and write?); Family/friends (found family/tribe) Are they supportive?; Admin/Promotion/Meta Data (awards, contests, book events, pitching podcasts, website updates); Money Flow (basic needs met through a combo of income streams); Author Career (how many books published, platform? What's your definition of success?); Production (includes writing schedule and publishing schedule, goals); Environment (office, coffee shop, quiet work space?); Industry Resources/Development (classes, retreat, conferences) Find Us: Valerie's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/valerieihsan Erick's Linktree link: https://linktr.ee/erickmertzauthor
