138: The Dangers of Treating Your Writing Like a Hobby

This episode is for the writer who dips in and out of their writing. You’re probably not a full-time writer and your creative work is more likely to follow bursts of inspiration rather than a steady, consistent writing practice.

Let’s get into it.
