Self-Published Author & Managing Editor
I’m a published author, managing editor of a writer's blog, and I write short fiction for podcasts.
I’m a huge planner. I get the big stuff on the calendar and do the prep work for those blocked in events. I have to write my weekly blog, so I make time on a weekly basis for that. There’s a rhythm to what I do; I do the busy work in the morning like emails and ad campaigns and editorial projects that aren’t my own. After that, I like to leave a big stretch of a couple hours in the afternoon time for creative writing and generating my own content.
