The Sustainable Author: A Smarter Goal-Setting Seminar

Tired of burnout and broken writing goals? Learn how to plan smarter, write sustainably, and build a creative life that lasts in this empowering 60-minute seminar for writers.

WHAT TO EXPECT

TOPIC:  Stop Setting Goals That Burn You Out. Start Building a Writing Life That Lasts.

SUB-TITLE: The Sustainable Author: A Goal-Setting Seminar for Writers Who Want to Create Without Collapse

Finally Finish Your Book in 2026 - Without the Burnout.

Are you tired of:
• Setting ambitious writing goals in January that you've abandoned by March?
• Feeling guilty about not writing enough while juggling work, family, and life?
• Watching other authors succeed while you're stuck in the cycle of start-stop-start?
• Wondering if you'll ever actually finish that book or if you're just fooling yourself?

What if 2026 could be different?
Not because you push harder. Because you plan smarter.

In this 60-minute seminar, you'll discover:
✓ How to set writing goals that fit your actual life (not some imaginary version where you have 6 extra hours a day)
✓ Why "I am a writer" matters more than "I will publish", and how that mindset shift changes everything
✓ Accountability systems that motivate instead of shame when life inevitably gets complicated
✓ How to map your 2026 in seasons, not sprints—so you're building a practice, not chasing a finish line

This seminar is for you if:
• You're a new author ready to start your writing journey without burning out before you begin
• You're an experienced writer who's tired of the hustle and wants a more sustainable path
• You're anyone interested in setting creative goals that honor both your ambitions and your wellbeing
• You believe your story matters but don't know how to make consistent progress

You'll leave with:
• A personalized 2026 roadmap with quarterly milestones
• Practical tools to track progress without pressure
• A "sustainable author statement" that guides your decisions all year
• Connection with others committed to the long game
• Permission to build something real at a pace that works for you
