    Ep 11 - How to continue the momentum in your writing

    Every now and again in our writing practice, we can get into deep waters where the swimming becomes compulsive. Work flows. The days pass swiftly. And the word and page count builds and builds.   This is a good thing. But it's also got some wicked snares to watch out for.   Last week's episode was all about what to do when you get stuck - but on the flipside, this week's episode is all about what to do when you are in a good groove with writing; how to keep the momentum, and most importantly, stop from burning out.   You can download a FREE guide that I've created that has some tips for what to do if you get stuck, and I hope you enjoy this week's episode on what to do when you are running hot.   Happy writing.   DOWNLOAD THE GUIDE HERE > https://contentcalendar.ck.page/8e39af0b28  ------   If you took something from this episode, I would love for you to take a screenshot and share this on your socials so that other aspiring novelists can also take something from it. Don't forget to tag me at @davidallanpetale. My mission is to help as many aspiring authors as I can, so they can become more confident writers who actually write the THING. I would really appreciate it if you could share this episode with a writing buddy, or on your social media, to help me spread the word that it IS possible to write a novel.

    Ep 8 - Forget publication and do the work

    Writing a book is a long, difficult slog that requires persistence, stamina, and commitment. It also requires a foolhardy sense of optimism, because there is no guarantee of reward. Nevertheless, writers can often get stuck focussing on publication as the ultimate goal of their work.   In this episode, I discuss very honestly the inner turmoil that can arise when we get stuck deeply into a story and sweat the outcome too much.   It's easy to fall into the trap of focussing on getting published. Having that be your ultimate goal when really, doing the work, and doing it to the best of your abilities, is a far better goal (and one you actually have control over).   ------ If you took something from this episode, I would love for you to take a screenshot and share this on your socials so that other aspiring novelists can also take something from it.  Don't forget to tag me at @davidallanpetale.
