Do you have a lot of stress about building a business around your writing? When you think about building your business, what does that look like to you? Today Kathi is talking with Enneagram coach and Writing at the Red House leader, Lori Young, about building a writing habit.

Listen in and learn:

  • The difference between taking the “writer route” and the “expert route” as a communicator.
  • Thinking through wise uses of your time and money.
  • Pursuing writing as a passion or as a career or both.

Lori also shares that she has grown her coaching and writing business over the last few years as part of the Red House Writers Collective. The Collective has provided her with energy and accountability, motivating and inspiring her to accomplish more every day. Does that sound like something you need as well?

The Red House Writers Collective is the place that helps take writing challenges and turn them into celebrated successes. The Collective is a program with daily accountability, expert coaching from some of the best authors and agents in the Christian writing industry, and an encouraging community of like-minded writers cheering each other on.
