Episode Details

If you came home from a conference, a class, or a bootcamp with pages of notes and a lit-up feeling, and two weeks later nothing about your writing life is actually different, this episode is for you.

This week on The Confident Fiction Author, I'm sharing The Week After: Turning What You Learned Into What You Do.

In this episode, you'll discover:
•  Why the energy you came home with after an event has a shelf life of about a week
•  Why your first step should be ridiculously easy (mine was 33 words on an airplane)
•  Why the gap between the demo and your first try is not evidence that it won't work for you

By the end, you'll have a three-move action step you can do in about ten minutes, and the window to do it in.

Listen to the episode or read the blog-style version on my Substack here.

And if your one thing is dictation, my app Fictate is designed specifically for dictating fiction authors, with a free trial waiting at fictateapp.com. Your first session can be 33 words. It doesn't have to be impressive. It just has to happen.
