Do you have great expectations about writing and publishing and how much time your literary life should take? Are you constantly disappointed because your literary life isn’t meeting those high standards?
In the tenth episode of Bethany Hegedus’ Courage to Create series, she discusses how we can free ourselves from unrealistic expectations and focus on small steps rather than huge milestones. She reminds us that there are no shortcuts in having a writing career nor is there one specific path to follow. We each create that path for ourselves.
Bethany advises us to stop letting time matter and instead to embrace where we are now in our literary lives and look at where we want to go because that’s all we can control. She even walks listeners through the three act plot structure of the literary life: apprentice years, early career, and mastery. Listen today for insights and inspiration to let yourself realize that the time it takes is the time it takes.
