Prioritising Your Writing with Julia Forster

We discuss how Julia prioritises her own writing, and how her approach to the matter has changed throughout the years in line with varying time, space, projects and genre. Julia also shares her own tips for prioritising writing, from using short burst of time, to finding a network that can offer a space for freedom of creativity and support. Best of all, Julia shares with us the most vital lesson that life happens, and that writing is there to supplement the changes and help us grow.
