Deadlines are supposed to help you finish your book… so why do they so often leave you exhausted, stressed, and creatively blocked?
If you’ve ever set a writing or publishing deadline with the best intentions—only to fall behind, feel guilty, or wonder if deadlines just “don’t work” for you—this episode is for you.
In Episode 15: Setting Realistic Deadlines Without Killing Your Creativity, Veronica breaks down why deadlines aren’t the real problem—and what actually causes burnout, missed timelines, and creative shutdown for writers and authors.
This episode takes a clear, honest look at how unrealistic scheduling, blurred work phases, and lack of boundaries quietly sabotage your momentum. Veronica also shares a pivotal moment from her own author career that forced her to completely rethink how she plans books, manages workload, and protects creative energy.
If you want to:
- stop relying on last-minute pressure to get words on the page
- set deadlines you can actually keep
- move forward consistently without sacrificing your creativity
this episode will help you see deadlines in an entirely new way.
