Your Mid-Year Check-In
Don't worry, there's plenty of time left in the year!
We’re halfway through the year. It’s a good time to stop and take stock—without judgment, without pressure. Just a moment to check in with yourself and your writing life.
Whether you’re mid-launch or recovering from one. Are you still fitting your writing around a full-time job, wondering if you’ll ever be able to shift the balance. Maybe, you’ve had to take a step back entirely, unsure what comes next.
Wherever you are right now, here are a few questions worth asking to help you move forward into the second half of this year:
What’s worked so far this year?
What hasn’t?
What do I want the rest of this year to look like?
And what have I kept doing that I don’t actually want to do anymore?
This isn’t about reinventing your whole plan. It’s about being honest with yourself and making intentional choices—so your time, energy, and focus go where you want them to. And checking in to make sure what you’re doing is working and not wasting your time and resources.
If a book launch is part of your plan for the second half of the year—or even something you’re starting to think about—the free Book Launch Starter GPT can help. It’s a simple assessment tool that I’ve developed to help you see what’s already in place, what’s missing, and where to go next. I’ve had authors say, they wished they could get all of my experience and knowledge out of my head. Well, this is your chance. I’ve trained this GPT myself and you get free access when you sign up.
I can’t wait to see your next steps.
