Your Business and Writing Toolbox

EPISODE 142TBetween my entrepreneurship class for foreign-born women here in Sweden and listening to Stephen King's On Writing in audiobook form on my way to and from work, I have business and writing on the brain right now. So I thought it would be a great time to share with you how I try to keep track of the big picture when I get lost in the dirt and the details of having a writing business.The most important thing a writer can do is...write.Seems obvious, right? But when you start adding in all of the business aspects, all of the marketing, all of the myriad other things that you must - or are told you must - do to have a successful writing career, sometimes the writing can take a backseat.In this episode, I list what I believe are the four key elements you need to be a writer, and a longer list of all the things that are easier if you've decided in advance how to handle them. These are your tools.With my ideas for tools as a jumping off point, create your own toolbox with the best tools for you. And always...keep writing, keep improving your writing, and write some more.
