Note: These early episodes (through episode 8) were recorded quite some time ago. The podcast has changed focus since then, as has Author Yogi. Episode 10 discusses the change in focus. The information is still good, so that is why these episodes are being published.
One of the biggest ways we, as authors, compare ourselves to others is in daily word counts. It’s tough not to see the big numbers some people put on their social media and feel like you’re missing out or compare yourself to them. But like most things on social media, you only see the highlight reels, and everyone’s life is different. In this episode, I talk about how word counts can be encouraging and discouraging and how to handle it if you’re a writer (like me) who has “life” or “health” interfere with your daily writing habit more often then you’d like.
