Fearless Writing with Bill Kenower

Bill’s episodes are short and sweet and always interesting. He gives us a snippet of inspiration for our writing day and life.

I have been a loyal fan of Bill’s “writing tips, hints, suggestions, kind advice on writing struggles “ for years. I am telling you, his author interviews, his podcast, YouTube videos have helped this woman ( me) since I have dealt with learning disabilities for decades ( let’s just say, I adore my granddaughters) . I was diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia, ( of course by different names…hyperactive, etc), OCD ( perfectionism) and this was not just holding me back but locking me in fear of grasping my passions and dreams. Then I started following Bill Kenower’s YouTube channel and podcast. And some of the authors he interviewed sounded like me, they had fear holding them back. That paralyzing imposter syndrome. I have read and reread Bill’s book, “Fearless Writing” and it was the “Popeye’s Spinach” I needed. ( yes, I’m from that era! lol) Read Bill Kenower’s books. Watch his channel. Listen to his podcast ( and the fun happy music in the introduction!). It gave this gal the spinach I needed to start writing. Taking my fear and stuffing it in a shoebox and placing it in the attic, with the other toss outs, now I’m in charge. And love my voice on paper ( longhand for me…first draft) . Our voice is meant to be heard. And Bill’s books and programs give you the boost you’ve been seeking. No losing with Bill. Only joy and peace and sharing your story with the planet. And if that’s not a gift, I’m not sure what is. For those friends or family members who have talked nonstop about writing a book and sharing their story, the holiday season is here. What a “grateful gift” for Thanksgiving or a way to show your faith in someone whose dream of being an author could finally come true. I have three grandchildren who love to tell stories and are avid readers and their stockings will be filled with gifts of helping them fulfill their passion…becoming writers and authors. Thank you Bill Kenower !

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.

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!
