Building In Public Comes With Its List of Difficulties

I wish it were as easy as it seems.

Hey there

I’m writing my first full-length novel. And I decided to write it in public.

We’ve all heard of entrepreneurs building their products in public. Maybe I’ll be the first author writing her novel in public?

The idea behind this is simple. I want to build a community of readers who are invested in the journey and the novel before it’s even out. I don’t know where this will lead me and for how long I can keep this going, but the idea is to document every step of the process.

I want to celebrate the wins, hunt for lessons in the losses, and be my most vulnerable, authentic self as I take my readers with me on this journey.

Taking a step in this direction, I’ve started posting short videos on Instagram and YouTube that document my writing process. These videos have taken off, giving me more views than I’d ever received.

But they’ve also presented a major problem: How do I divide my time between writing and documenting my journey?

In this post, I’ve talked about how I manage my time productively, giving my creativity the space it needs to nurture.
