Thinking about self publishing and don't know where to start? Join the SPA Girls each week for an episode filled with honest advice, tips and resources. 

We had a fantastic guest this week in the form of Becca Syme, Cosy Mystery author, writing coach, teacher of the Write Better Faster course, and podcaster at the Smarty Pants Marketing podcast. 

Becca talks to us about how we can all Write Better Faster in our writing careers. It's not about tips and techniques for getting more words per hour - it's more about understanding who you are as a writer, your natural talents and skills within that, and using those natural talents in the best way to ensure you are successful. 

The most important takeaway we had from our conversation with Becca is that you don't have to do everything exactly the same way as other people are doing it to be successful. In fact if it's the wrong methodology for you, then you're more likely to fail and feel bad about it. Rather it's about knowing who you are as a person, how you think things through and understand the world, and then how to take that understanding to create a system that works for you. 

She was a fabulous guest and gave us heaps to think about in terms of our own systems and thought processes, and we hope you'll feel the same way.
