This week’s guest, Bridget Quinn, has some important insights into this topic, too, and shares about how she sold three books in five years after the devastating rejection of her memoir, and how keeping lots of irons in the fire is an effective strategy for writing success.

Takeaway:
Do some introspection about your own procrastination. Think about how you procrastinate. What are the emotions that cause you to procrastinate? Is your procrastination something that hinders you from accomplishing your goals? How can you come up with a strategy or a mindset to deal with it?
As part of that, we all need to forgive ourselves for procrastinating from time to time, because there are just some unpleasant things to do in our busy lives, and sometimes we really do need a break.
