Have you gotten the DIY MFA Starter Kit yet? This is a two week email series full of worksheets to help you DIY your MFA, so you can get the “knowledge without the college.” You’ll learn more about how to write with focus, read with purpose, and build your community. You’ll also receive Writer Fuel, our newsletter full of words of wisdom and resources to help you keep the momentum going in your writing. And you’ll be the first to hear about other fun goodies we only share via email. Best of all, it’s free to join! You can sign up with your email at diymfa.com/join.

In this episode I discuss:

• How finding balance is not about rigidly compartmentalizing your life.
• What it means to “honor your reality” and how it relates to balance.
• Why we should be wary of blanket advice and shouldn’t follow any advice too rigidly.
• Why it’s so important for us to acknowledge and honor our real-life constraints.
