In this week's episode, Elizabeth talks with Amanda McKinney about the following and more:

The Three Levels of Accountability
Creating a 90-Day Writing Strategy
Overcoming the "Perfect Conditions" Trap

Accountability is the secret weapon of consistent writers, but you might need a different level depending on your needs. When you listen to this episode, you'll learn about those levels and you can decide what works for you.

As you listen, ask yourself: What level of accountability do I currently need for my writing goals?

We've found incredible benefits from peer accountability. If you're seeking this kind of accountability comment on this video with the words "co-working" and we'll send you details about how you can join our Zoom room.

One of the practical approaches Amanda shares is breaking down a writing project into 90-Day chunks of time rather than trying to tackle the entire thing all at once. Listen to the episode and you'll learn the steps for setting yourself up for success. If you're interested in a deeper dive into this approach, then the PATH program is for you.

As you listen, ask yourself: What's one writing goal I could realistically accomplish in the next 90 days?

"PATH helped me create a 12-week plan so I'm set for the next 3 months! 100% worth it!" - Amber

Amanda encourages you to show up to write for 10 minutes every day as the strategy for overcoming the notion that you have to wait for the "perfect conditions" to get your writing done. When you build the habit of showing up, even if you're not sure what to write, it helps create consistency and accountability.

Challenge: Set a 10 minute timer after reading this and write!
