174: Set Your Truth Milestones
The Keep Writing Podcast
by Nika Maples
1d ago
Setting truth milestones for yourself along your writing journey is like setting guideposts along a 10-mile hike.

But you have to know where you’re going and when you’d like to arrive before you can begin setting those milestones into place.

This limiting belief is sneaky! Many new authors get caught up by this one simple phrase: It won’t make a difference. This one is tricky because it keeps you from making progress on your goals while making you think you’re not missing anything important. The smallest actions are the ones that often make the biggest difference, and this thought will make you miss it while keeping you stuck in inaction.
