SWRT 16: Accountability
January 3, 2017

We’ve moved!

The Story Works Round Table podcast is now on Substack, where we can offer even more great content to our fans and listeners.

Want to join the conversation?

Subscribers can sit with us at the round table to talk story craft every month. When we read a guest’s book, you can, too, then come discuss it with us and each other. Want to ask writing questions? Bring them to the round table!

We can’t wait to see how we grow over there. Won’t you join us?

 

Alida, Matt and Kathryn discuss the issue of accountability and how it can help you write more.

Show Notes:

Want to start off 2017 right? We talk about how to use accountability in tandem with your productivity to boost your writing. Is there a difference between accountability and productivity? And how can you set up accountability in your own life? What tools are out there for use? And should you go public with your goals? It all comes down to knowing yourself and how you work.
