  • Why Giving Up is (Sometimes) a Good Thing

    Why Giving Up is (Sometimes) a Good Thing
    Mar 2 2024

    So many writers hear the advice "Just Push Through!" when writing, or even sometimes the more aggressive "Get the work done, no excuses". Join Jordan as she breaks down this advice and talks about why giving up is (sometimes) a good thing.

    Resources as discussed in this episode:

    Freedom With Writing: a free newsletter that contains links to contests, grants, fellowships, and so much more. A great one to add to your inbox. https://www.freedomwithwriting.com/freedom/uncategorized/35-contests-grants-and-fellowships-for-writers-up-to-100000/

    One Story: a site with just about everything. Published writing, really affordable classes that are asychronous so you can do them at whatever pace you'd like, and the occasional writing contest. https://one-story.com/

    Authors Publish: one of my absolute favorite websites. They have free talks that I attend as often as possible, as well as a free newsletter with information about everything from writing contests to new indie presses. https://one-story.com/
