creating a writing routine & weekly goals | week in the life of an indie author

this week I worked on setting some new weekly goals around writing, reading the artists way to develop my creative process, fitness, and finding a work life balance and setting some boundaries, all in the hopes of getting into some healthy habits. I want to create sustainable long term habits so that I can build a career as a self-published author while taking care of myself and the rest of my life, and this vlog is a little peek into how I'm trying to do that :)
