What if you’ve been waiting on the wrong milestone to claim the right identity?
You don’t need a book deal, an audience, or a spot on the bestseller list to call yourself a professional author. What you do need? Daily discipline. Conviction. Integrity. And the guts to show up...especially when no one’s watching.
In today’s episode of The Adventurous Author Podcast, we expose:
✔️ Why bestselling is a status you can buy, but professional is a title you must become ✔️ The 7 traits that define true professionalism in your writing life ✔️ How to adventurize the grind so you stay joyful, creative, and wildly consistent ✔️ Why adopting the right identity is more powerful than chasing external validation
Keep the words rolling and the adventures unfolding,
Bonnie Jean
