Trust Your Reader
We need our readers to fill in what we leave out; it’s what really finishes a story. This means we have to trust them, even though sometimes they don’t make the connections we hope.
-
Nothing Better Than Joy
As Beethoven no doubt knew – there’s nothing better than joy, and creativity teaches us again and again it’s always inside of us, never outside of us.
-
The Real Value of Being an Author
The time I learned why being an author is so valuable, and how we can use this authority to allow people to believe the stories they actually want to believe.
-
When Our Pain Isn’t Real
A true story about how physical pain and suffering taught me a lot about all suffering. If I’m honest, most of it wasn’t real, wasn’t necessary.
-
Writing As A Cure for Loneliness
If you’re like me, you prefer to be alone while you write. But you’re also never lonely, at least not when it’s going well. That’s because loneliness is feeling disconnected from that to which you always want connection. Writing is one way to practice that connection.

When The Best Plan Is No Plan
Just like you can’t know every sentence in a paragraph before you write it, so too you can’t know how your career or life will unfold. As creative people, we must be more interested in what interests us most, and less on how we will sell it, publish it, or monetize it.
Customer Reviews
Refreshing!
I can too easily find myself caught up in the “business” side of writing because yes, it matters to know how the system works. But honestly, focusing on that can be quite draining and soul-wrenching. A few years ago I bought Bill Kenower’s book “Fearless Writing” and I knew within reading the first few pages that I needed to keep this book on my desk! But I can be lured back into seminars on how to write a great query or what publishers care about and can become stuck in that mindset. Ugh. How wonderful that Bill has created this podcast! I really appreciate that each session is very short and that it’s a wonderful reminder of what’s really important. His verbal style is so engaging, like a good friend or coach who wants you to succeed.
Makes You Want To Write!
Each episode shares inspiring thoughts and ideas to help you tap into your own guidance for your writing life. As you listen you’ll be drawn back to your love of writing and from there all good things Flow! I can’t wait to hear more from this knowledgeable and lighthearted host!
Gets to the heart of it all
These short, pithy episodes are packed with wisdom that gets to the heart of what most writers struggle with – how they think about writing. Kenower has an engaging voice and speaking style and the wisdom comes from years in the business working with a huge variety of successful writers.
Lots of writing podcasts speak to both the craft and business of the writer. How refreshing to have one that tackles our own relationship with it.
Highly recommended.
