For decades, I wrote in bursts—finishing and publishing four novels over twenty years, but I never truly saw myself as a disciplined author. I thought about writing daily, but I wasn’t actually creating daily. That gap between declaration and demonstration was holding me back.

In this episode, I reveal why aspirations alone don’t define identity — actions do — and how to use the evidence from your daily life to build an unshakable author identity. We’ll talk about why most identity work fails, how to spot the gap between who you say you are and who you actually are, and how to install one small habit that proves your identity every single day.

Whether you’ve been stuck in stop-start cycles or you’re tired of calling yourself a writer without the daily proof to back it up, this episode will give you the exact steps to start closing the gap today.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why most identity work collapses without outside-in evidence

  • How to identify patterns that reveal your true values

  • How to borrow discipline from other areas of life to fuel your writing habit

  • The difference between aspirational identity and evidence-based identity

  • One daily action that builds your author foundation

Keep the words rolling and the adventures unfolding,

Bonnie Jean

Next Steps:

Escape into the Land of Zandador (the books I write under my pen name of Author D.K. Drake): Purchase one or all of the Dragon Stalker Bloodline Saga books on Amazon.
