    2025/06/27

    It's the Indie Writers Club with Cara & James! This week we talk editing/revising/rewriting, whatever you call it. Some of us love it (me) some hate it (Cara) but we all have to do it!

  • It's time to work less to achieve more...
    2025/06/13

    It might sound counter intuitive, but in this episode we'll use Cal Newport's guide to productivity to show that working less and working better is the future.

    It will take a mindset change to shake off the notion that we 'need to be busy' in order to be productive.
