Key Highlights: Why Consistency Gets Overhyped: Many authors are told that success depends on consistent daily output, but is that really true? Claire shares her frustrations with the industry’s obsession over this idea and why it may not be the golden rule we think it is. The Problem with the "One Size Fits All" Approach: Some writers thrive on daily word counts; others don’t. The myth that consistency guarantees success vs. the reality of different creative rhythms.
