## Resource

For our last video and podcast of 2025, we are reflecting on the biggest mistakes we've seen (and made) over this year, often over and over again. These aren't mistakes like putting a comma before every "and" regardless of whether there's a second clause, but the kind of mistake that drags down your progress, gets your whole project off track, or just sucks the fun out of writing itself. Watch now to avoid carrying these six mistakes into 2026!Part of the process of becoming a writer is learning how to read like a writer--to see the bones of structure and past the words to what choices the author is making and why they are (or aren't) working in the interest of the story. That's why Page and Podium is excited to announce our upcoming new Memoir Method Book Club, where each month we will be reading and examining a memoir with a writer's eye to learn more about what we can apply (or avoid) in our own work. 📅 New videos every Tuesday - subscribe and never miss an update!Timestamps:0:00-Intro4:51 First mistake: Rushing9:10 Second mistake: Clinging to what you've already written15:15 Third mistake: Getting stuck on right vs wrong19:19 Fourth mistake: Not trusting your intuition23:12 Fifth mistake: Getting stuck in your audience's head27:37 Final mistake: Not celebrating all your wins👉 **Follow Us:**- **LinkedIn:** [Page and Podium Press](https://www.linkedin.com/company/page-and-podium-press/)- **Facebook:** [Page and Podium Press](https://www.facebook.com/pageandpodiumpress)- **Instagram:** [@pageandpodiumpress](https://www.instagram.com/pageandpodiumpress/)🎵 Music I Use: BensoundLicense code: FZ3LM4DGUTQYKAESDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more writing tips and strategies.
