The pull of the outside is addictive and strong, and can overwhelm in such a way that you don’t even notice until it has already occurred.

Not physical exhaustion; the drained feeling you might experience at the end of a...]]></description><link>https://zoepirtle.wixsite.com/zoepirtle-editorial/post/5-considerations-to-nourish-the-creative-in-you</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cc5488bc536ac286a9f441</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 23:19:50 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bece16_ec33335c78664fe5a2b2383b9ded2944~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>zoepirtle</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three Things to Think About as an Indie Author]]></title><description><![CDATA[Indie authors are superhumans. They wear the hat for every role in their company, and they have to not just do it passably but do it well; true jack-of-all-trades style, mastering it all. This kind of dedication is inspiring, and beautiful! Pulling from my experience working with independent authors, here are three things to focus on: 1. Give yourself some credit! You are writing this book for a reason; your voice deserves to be heard. Let your voice shine, the message resonate, and the book...]]></description><link>https://zoepirtle.wixsite.com/zoepirtle-editorial/post/three-things-to-think-about-as-an-indie-author</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b97c28bcb9fb0e96f2a205</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Mar 2026 16:08:44 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bece16_a07f3be062e04c7489ca057df6991086~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>zoepirtle</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What to Consider When Starting a New Manuscript ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Any beginning requires focus, consideration, and a certain kind of openness to the possibilities lying in wait.

Not because you aren’t working on the existing projects, but because they are “never ready”? I am! But I was told once by a professor in college something I’ll never forget. “Get your project off your hard drive; it’s not doing anything for you there.” This applies to music projects, manuscript ideas, artwork, anything creative under the sun. Your art piece, in whatever medium you’ve chosen, deserves to see the light of day; not for it’s own sake, but for...]]></description><link>https://zoepirtle.wixsite.com/zoepirtle-editorial/post/5-ways-to-harness-your-perfectionist-streak</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a7229effff75773eb7074b</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Mar 2026 18:06:46 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bece16_faf7839f31734bf89bd7fcf42d4c98be~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>zoepirtle</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[3 Reasons Why The Right Editor Matters]]></title><description><![CDATA[An author isn’t just peddling wares, or a service. Their written voice is a craft, an art, and should be respected as such. Here’s three reasons why it’s so important to find the right editor for you. The editor should be professionally invested in your work. Why would you hire a cook who doesn’t like the food they cook, or an artist who would rather paint with a completely different medium? The same goes for an editor. They’re not emotionally invested; but they should be professionally...]]></description><link>https://zoepirtle.wixsite.com/zoepirtle-editorial/post/3-reasons-why-the-right-editor-matters</link><guid isPermaLink="false">699de4a1e9360bd69c33fe99</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:49:43 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bece16_fd5139369ac2402bba03cce128b6874d~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>zoepirtle</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
