Your friends are lying to you.

Your writing career is in trouble.

You’re stuck, and it’s eating you alive.

Stop fooling yourself, and seek the truth.

It’s time to face the music…is your writing career dead in the water?

Are You Riding on Old Glories?

Still bragging about that article you wrote two years ago?

If you’re not hitting new milestones, you’re stagnating. Stop fooling yourself with past glories.

To assess your progress, list your major writing accomplishments over the past year. If your list is short or filled with old wins, it’s time to shake things up. Identify areas where you’ve grown and areas where you’re still treading water.

Here’s what to do next: Set new, ambitious goals for your writing career. These should challenge you and push you out of your comfort zone. Break these goals down into actionable steps and start working on them today.

Remember, progress is about moving forward, not standing still.
