12: A conversation with Anna-Marie O'Brien Diary of an Indie Writer

My conversation partner today is Anna-Marie O’Brien.

Anna-Marie O'Brien grew up in Ohio as a fan of rock music and good books. After working for a record label in the early 1990's, she spent almost 20 years as a public librarian. She now coaches writers through their creative journey, and is currently working on her third book. She lives in Phoenix, Arizona.

We talk about things like:
- Anna-Marie's writing journey with writing
- Her career transition from librarian to writer
- Memoir vs other forms of writing
- "When did you realise you were worthy of being an author?"
- How Anna-Marie became a writing coach
- The importance of writing and creativity in our healing 
- Anna-Marie’s blog to share her journey as she writes her next book
- Advice for anyone who is feeling blocked and stuck with their writing
