Not the big milestones, but the little ones we usually overlook! 👉 Did you write a paragraph? 👉 Open your document? 👉 Brainstorm a character? 👉 Clean your desk so writing feels easier? Share one small win you’ve had this week below. They all add up.

Every author learns so much along the way — about the craft, the business, the mindset, and everything in between. Most of us look back and think, “Wow… I wish someone had told me ___ before I started.” 👉 I’d love to hear yours: What’s one thing you wish you’d known before beginning your writing journey? (Big or small — anything that would’ve saved you time, stress, or confusion!) Your answer might be exactly what another author in this community needs to hear today.

We all dream of those big, focused writing days where the words just flow — but the truth is, most of our progress happens in the quiet, ordinary moments when we show up — even if it’s just for a few words! Consistency isn’t about perfection or massive word counts. It’s about proving to yourself that your writing matters enough to keep coming back to it — especially on the days when it feels hard. 👉 I’d love to hear: How do you stay consistent in your writing life? And what helps you show up even when motivation is low? Every small session adds up — and before you know it, you’ve written a whole book one imperfect writing day at a time.
