Consistency for Time-Strapped Fiction Writers: The Identity Solution | 166

Consistency is NOT about repetition. It’s about identity.

Inside this episode:

✔️ Why writing from identity is more sustainable than writing from willpower

✔️ What Jesus taught us about consistent action from core conviction

✔️ How showing up daily as an author builds creative clarity and inner strength
