Writing is tough, being an author is tougher. Here at Alive and Writing, we take a closer look at all the challenges you will face as an author including issues with mental health, time management, professionalism, and more.

 
Writing is not a contact sport. At least, not the way we do it anyway. So why do we (as in all authors, not just myself, Chautona, and Clark) feel that we’re in competition with one another? It’s one of the great mysteries of life that we tackle in this week’s episode, It’s NOT a Competition.
