Not sure which POV is best for your book? This episode breaks down the pros and cons of writing in the different points of view, from first person to third person limited and omniscient (and even second person!). Not really sure what each of these are? No worries! I'll break down what each POV means and (hopefully) give you some food for thought on which one would be best for your book.

Whether you're a new author working on your first book, or a seasoned author with three or four books under your belt, setting writing goals can be the defining factor for getting that book done in a timely manner.

But setting unrealistic goals can cause frustration and, sometimes, cause authors to give up. In this episode, I'll give you several different strategies (including mine) for setting realistic goals that you can stick to.

If you already have a writing goal that works for you, please share in the comments! Maybe someone here can benefit from your success.

Episode 1: Welcome! If you have an idea for a book, but don’t know where to begin, you’ve come to the right place (or the WRITE place...hahaha). After a quick introduction (this is the first episode), I dive right into today’s topic…Where Do I Begin? I start by discussing various methods/software for doing your writing, and then I share some different strategies of how to start writing your book—turning that idea into an actual book (so exciting!). Even for seasoned authors, starting a new book can be challenging. Hopefully today’s episode will give everyone some new and different ideas of how to begin writing a new book.

Here are links from today’s episodes. (*note: some are affiliate links)
