I just connected with Rachel Jonas who's using Author Scale to sell her books. I want to invite her to come teach us and potentially run a social media challenge next month and I want to know: What questions do you have for Rachel? (see her interview below) When it comes to social media, where are you stuck? BTW, Lee20 gets you a discount on Author Scale :) You can use it for any level, including lifetime. I have lifetime access and love it: www.authorscale.com

I need some help with getting back into writing after moving house and basically having my life disrupted (in a good way) for a couple of months. I've managed to get down 6 chapters of my WIP, but I feel so disconnected from the story/characters. Listening to my writing playlist helps, but my brain keeps throwing distractions my way and I'm just really struggling to knuckle down and write. Anyone know of any sprint groups or similar where I can get some body-doubling in? I'm in South Africa, so the timezone would have to be UK mornings/early afternoons. Also any suggestions for getting back into flow after a break would be greatly appreciated.

I've been rereading the Big Leap and he talks about how we all have an upper limit, the high end of our comfort zone where we might sabotage ourselves before ascending it. I'm curious if you've noticed this in your own life. I definitely hit one in 2022. Some of it was burn out--I didn't allow myself enough rest and fun to recooperate. And I once left a room of very successful authors, telling myself I did belong (even though I did!). And I see how I avoid being more visible on social media--there's some visibility I allow but I tend to control it. Denise DT talks about how some people get sick before launches, or don't allow themselves to launch at all! Or spend their money as fast as they make it, or give their money away or feel guilty about saving it. Or avoid doing the things that would make them successful, like marketing (I've done this too!). Think of a time you had some break out success or momentum and notice how you behaved. Did you celebrate? Allow yourself to rest? Or did you go out and wreck your car (I had an entrepreneurial ex-boyfriend who did this every time business went well)? No judgement, just notice! How do you sabotage yourself when reaching your upper limit?
