#016 Why the 12 Week Year Might Be the Keyto Finishing Your Book

In this solo episode, Nicole breaks down the key ideas behind The 12 Week Year and how this framework can radically shift the way you write, publish, and promote your book. She shares how she’s adapted the method into a full author success system—and how you can too.

Whether you're drafting, revising, querying, or marketing your work, this approach gives you a plan with urgency, structure, and momentum. Plus, Nicole introduces her group program, The Strategic Author, designed to help writers stop spinning their wheels and start hitting their goals with clarity and community.

• Why annual goals don’t work for most writers

• How to create a compelling author vision that fuels your motivation

• What a “model week” looks like (and why it matters)

• How to track progress without beating yourself up

• The six essential steps to build your own 12-week writing plan
