"One day I'll finish my novel..."

I used to say this all the damn time.🤦🏻‍♂️

The problem was that ‘one day’ never seemed to come, because... 

  • I was too exhausted after a 9-5 job

  • I felt shame choosing art over family

  • I had no time to research Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or Lulu

  • And worse, I didn’t have any kind of plan

What I needed was a roadmap 📍 

Something to tell me exactly what I had to do next. ​So I used my experience as a project manager to develop a proactive monthly plan that helped me capture the action items necessary to make forward progress. And the pretty amazing thing was...

It worked ✅

I went from:

  • Missing deadlines

  • Rewriting the same chapter ad nauseam

  • Starting new novels instead of finishing the one in front of me

To:

  • ​Finishing my novel in less than six months

  • Throwing my first launch party

  • Maintaining a positive work-life balance

  • Growing my writing community

  • Having fun again 🏄🏻‍♂️
