S1E2: Begin as you Mean to Carry On

In this episode, I talk about how I spent my so-called holidays, the current state of my writing projects, what I’ve been trying for marketing lately and what I’ve learned from it, and some of my favourite writing tools. I also discuss some movies I watched over the holidays and my business plans for 2022.Here are some resources mentioned in this episode:Tool of the Week:Scrivener: https://www.talenawinters.com/scrivener (affiliate link)Podcast mentions:6-figure Authors: SFA 112: How to Smartly Invest back into Your Book BusinessLife Lessons - Episode 57: Intermittent Fasting for LIFEThe Creative Penn - #596: Improve Your Sleep And Creativity With Dr. Anne D.
