#AskStephanie: are there any shortcuts to a successful writing career?
The answer to this question is yes and no.
Because let’s get one thing straight —
Unless you’re paying a ghostwriter to leave your legacy for you, there are no shortcuts for actually doing the work. And I really mean that.
Even when you pay for the best creative team, have a coach breathing down your neck, and have deadlines to meet from multiple publishers...there is no shortcut that can save you from actually WRITING THE BOOK FIRST.
