Quarter 4 of 2019 Writer’s Life [#yearofwriting]

Posted on December 31, 2019January 22, 2020 by Irina Gonzalez

Please subscribe to my newsletter: Self-Care For Writers. It’s impossible to look at the past three months of my writing life without having all sorts of conflicted feelings. For one, if I simply look at the numbers of how much money I made (and how much I wrote) in the past few months, it is…

Please subscribe to my newsletter: Self-Care For Writers. Last month was rough. I probably worked at about 60% of my capacity, and it certainly showed in my total April 2018 income earned ($2816), which is just over $2k below my goal of $5k a month.
