Description

What if you’ve been waiting on the wrong milestone to claim the right identity?


You don’t need a book deal, an audience, or a spot on the bestseller list to call yourself a professional author. What you do need? Daily discipline. Conviction. Integrity. And the guts to show up...especially when no one’s watching.


In today’s episode of The Adventurous Author Podcast, we expose:


✔️ Why bestselling is a status you can buy, but professional is a title you must become

✔️ The 7 traits that define true professionalism in your writing life

✔️ How to adventurize the grind so you stay joyful, creative, and wildly consistent

✔️ Why adopting the right identity is more powerful than chasing external validation


Keep the words rolling and the adventures unfolding,


Bonnie Jean
