Episode 4 - How to Stop Sabotaging Yourself

Leftie Aube’s Writing Podcast

Recorded on August, 15th 2022

In this episode, I talk about how we sabotage ourselves as writers when we’re trying to reach our goals: how we do it, why we do it, and how to stop doing it by journaling. I also tell you how I’ve been sabotaging myself since I started working on the fourth draft of my novel and how I was able to get back on track!

Mentioned in this episode:

• Lit Match Podcast by Abigail K. Perry
• Horror Writers Association Mentoring Program
• Stephanie Ellis

The questions to journal about are:

• How am I sabotaging myself?
• Why am I sabotaging myself?
• What are the goals I’m trying to attain? Why did I set those goals to myself in the first place?
• What actions can I take tomorrow to stop sabotaging myself?
