How Many Publications Can You Write In A Year? (How to Write and Publish More Next Year)

My wonderful coach Gina Robinson joins me on this episode to discuss publication goals and how to increase your capacity for writing and publishing in the coming year. What determines how much you can publish, and where are our expectations coming from? Is it possible to increase your level of joy in your work as you increase output? We talk through these concepts as well as share how we determined the parts of our new yearlong Navigate: Your Writing Roadmap program and what you need to create sustainable success.
