E34 - 10 Writing And Creative Lessons I Learnt In 2024 - Part 2

🗨️Episode Summary:In this episode, we continue discussing the rest five Writing and Creative lessons I learned last year, covering insights on slowing down, enjoying the process, recognising my own expertise, embracing independence, and stepping into my author life.

🗨️Key Points Discussed:

1. Slow Down, You Crazy Child - Reducing excessive content creation allowed me to focus on my core goal—writing books.
2. Enjoying Yourself Is Super Important - Slowing down makes the creative process more enjoyable, leading to greater productivity.
3. I Know More Than I Realize - A conversation with an aspiring writer helped me recognize my depth of knowledge.
4. It’s OK Not to Have a Mentor - Not finding a mentor forced me to learn independently and develop my own writing process.
5. Now My Author Life Begins - After ten years of learning, I am ready to step into the role of an author.

🗨️Takeaways:

• Prioritising fewer but more meaningful projects leads to better creative fulfilment.
• Enjoyment enhances productivity and keeps burnout at bay.
• You often know more than you give yourself credit for—sharing your knowledge can be eye-opening.
• Not having a mentor can push you to develop a more authentic and self-sufficient approach.
• Every phase of the writing journey has its lessons—embrace each step fully.
