Do you want to be more efficient when it comes to your writing?
Wish there was a way to understand what type of writing process would work well for you instead of trying and failing at a method that works well for others?
Guess what?
There is.
It still takes work but makes a massive difference in my writing life.
In this episode, I’m joined by Becca Syme, creator of the Better-Faster Academy and Strengths for Writes (betterfasteracademy.com/) classes and host of the Quit Cast For Writers. (betterfasteracademy.com/podcast/)
Becca and I discuss using the CliftonStrengths assessment tool to understand your unique writing talents and personality and how that will help you improve your writing process, avoid burnout, and focus on what you naturally excel at.
Tune in to learn how embracing your strengths can enhance creativity and productivity and sustain your passion for writing despite setbacks!
