Do you (almost) always honor your agreements to others (e.g. you routinely make your deadlines), but have a hard time doing things that nobody else is completing (e.g. pitch a story to a new-to-you editor)? External accountability can help interrupt narratives that are neither fact-based nor helpful.  Today I share with you a number of external accountability practices that are helpful for writers as well as questions to help you better tune into what works for you. Learn how to bridge the external accountability you’ve already got to your internal accountability, so that you can show up more for yourself, your career, and your readers. 🔗 Mentioned in this episode:  WCP 72: Internal and external accountability WCP 174 Archives: 100 reasons not to pitch today WCP 218 When it’s hard to let it be easy WCP 236 Judge me WCP 1: What’s your problem? 🎁 Download my free guide on how to pitch freelance article ideas, “5 Proven Steps to Writing Queries that Sell.”   www.rebeccalweber.com/howtopitch ⭐ Support the Writing Coach Podcast with a review on Apple Podcasts, sharing a link on your website or in your newsletter, or in your next social media post.
