Mourning a lost friend…podcast, that is

September 6, 2022 | Comments Off on Mourning a lost friend…podcast, that is

The Six Figure Authors podcast closed up digital shop in late April. There wasn’t enough time to host the show and get on with the business of life for the three hosts: Lindsay Buroker, Joe Lallo and Andrea Pearson, all successful, mid-list fiction writers.

Thankfully, the archives are still available. If you’re an aspiring writer, listen to these episodes — they’re filled with down-to-earth advice on making a real living as a writer, and not just as some slave to Big Publishing.

Thanks for the wisdom, kind people.

Maker’s Schedule vs. Manager’s Schedule

It’s a real headache for writers and other creative work that most of the world runs according to a manager’s schedule (with office hours from 9am-5pm peppered with 1/2 hour-long meetings). Creative folk need uninterrupted time.

Visit this link for an insightful take on the dilemma. If you’ve figured this all out, and can still feed a family of 5, send me a note. I’ll be eternally grateful.
