Episode 70: Your Last 90 Days of the Year (Less but Better)

If you're looking at October through December and already feeling behind, this episode is for you. Novel November and the holidays land back to back, and most of us either plan this quarter like any other and get flattened, or write it off and wait for January.

This week on The Confident Fiction Author, in Your Last 90 Days of the Year (Less but Better), I'm sharing how I plan the strangest quarter of the author year, and the one thing my own 90 days are for.

In this episode, you'll discover:
•  Why 90 days is the sweet spot for planning, and why later is where your goals go to die
•  The hot tub conversation with my mom that kept this podcast alive, and the right-sized middle it taught me
•  The one sentence to write this week
•  Why your holidays, rest days, and Sabbaths go on the calendar before your writing does
•  Four completely legitimate Novembers, from the full 50,000-word sprint to a month of rest
•  The three dates your 90 days need, including a finish line before Christmas

By the end, you'll have a plan for the best 90 days of your year, not the most, with your rest built in and your one thing at the center.
