What I Learned through My Three-Year Journey from Beginner to Published Author
I never expected to be a published author at this age.
My goal list had me slated to achieve ‘Write a Book’ in five to ten years. I didn’t think I’d be ready to write a book at this time. That had a lot to do with all the projects I had on my plate — plus, I hadn’t yet officially started my official ‘career’ yet, as I was still working on finishing my doctorate.
So basically, I had planned to write a book only after I had some years of life and career experience under my belt.
But eight months ago, a publisher reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in writing a book related to my field of study, food science.
I jumped on the opportunity.
Today, my book is set to be published in July and I’m excited to finally see all of my hard work in print.
It’s a different (amazing!) place from where I thought I’d be now.
Now, I want to share with you what it took to get to this point and some of the lessons, insights, and strategies I’ve learned along the way.
Keep a Goal List
Like I mentioned before, I have a goal list (with ‘Write a Book’ originally planned for years into the future).
