In this podcast, I share my journey towards making my writing dream come true: becoming a full-time fiction writer.

If you are a writer who is starting out on your journey or if you’re discouraged from not having reached your writing dreams yet, this podcast is for you.

Episode 12 - #AMQUERYING!
Surprise! I’m back! In this episode, I talk about my still-ongoing querying journey, how hard it is, but also the lessons I’ve learned during the worst months of my life, health-wise, that are helping me get through querying with more peace. I had a major realization while recording the episode that I think will also help you tremendously on your querying journey, so this episode is definitely not one to miss!

Episode 11 - How to Deal with Rejection as a Writer
Recorded on November 15th, 2022
In this episode, I first talk about my surgery—upcoming at the time of recording the episode and far behind me as I post the episode. Then I get into rejections: how to deal with the emotions that come with them, how to keep on going despite them, and the #1 mental shift that completely changed how I handle rejection (trust me, it works!)

Episode 10 - Embodying the Writer You Want to Become
Recorded on October 11th, 2022
At the beginning of this episode, I explain why the episodes aren’t coming as regularly as before and what you can do to help me get back to posting new episodes every week. Then I talk about my decision not to track my writing in October before I get into the topic of embodying the writer you want to become. I promise I don’t get woo-woo; I keep it actionable and grounded in science. Plus I share my favorite writing affirmations!

Episode 9 - How to Give (and Receive!) Writing Feedback
Recorded September 26th, 2022
In this episode, I talk about who to ask for feedback on your writing. What sort of comments you should give to another writer when they trust you with their work. And how to process the emotions that arise when you’re receiving feedback to allow you to use them in the most effective way and make your story better (without risking ruining your story or driving yourself mad with the comments you get!)

Episode 8 - Trusting the Timeline of Your Writing Journey
Recorded September 19th, 2022
In this episode, I talk about how I had to make a change in my writing routine to make it work long time with my day job and all the rest. Then I talk about the importance of trusting that everything happens at the right time and that we do not need to be further along in our writing journey. I needed to integrate this so badly, and I hope it’ll help you to feel more at peace with the timeline of your writing journey too!

Episode 7 - Being Disciplined as a Writer
Recorded September 12th, 2022
In the updates of this episode, I talk about how my crazy writing routine is too much and what I plan to do about it (I’m not sure that’s the best idea, but I’m rolling with it right now!) And the topic part of the episode is about writing discipline: what it is, what it’s not, and how you can build it over time. I also talk about the two books that helped me so much to build my own discipline as a writer.
