Confessions of a First Time Author

It’s a bumper episode with 2 months’ worth of updates, including:   Initial development work on a new series of shorter books. I talk about this more in an interview with Jon Cronshaw on Stop Booking Around, episode 32 - http://stopbookingaround.libsyn.com/032-long-novels-with-clare-sager Dictation struggles and wins, including my best ever writing speed and most words ever written in a day.   The podcast is also officially changing to a monthly show, rather than fortnightly. I’ll also be trialing having quarterly goal episodes. Because, the writing has to come first.   My question for you this episode: What are your tools and processes that help with the admin tasks in your author career? For example, using Google Forms as a timesaver for newsletter swaps. I’d love to hear your tips for how you organise those admin jobs and keep track.   Links for the tips for this episode: Episode 327 Smart Podcast Trashy Books.
