Alchemy for Authors

Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors!

In this week’s episode, I chat with bestselling author and Plot Dude, Troy Lambert. Troy shares his own recent experiences with pivoting and gives advice on how to utilise pivoting to create a sustainable author career. Some of the other topics we discuss include:

· Why writing is the easiest job in the world to quit.

· The importance of work-life balance and rest for sustainability.

· Why writing for a living is not a job but a lifestyle.

· Why the people you surround yourself with matter.

· The importance of being you!
