TODAY'S GUEST: CAROLINE DONAHUE
As a book-loving Writing and Book Coach, Caroline doesn't believe there is any force more powerful in this world than writing. With a Masters in Psychology and Expressive Arts, and a subsequent career in the book world that began with working in a bookshop, progressing through editing and producing a thrice annual auction catalogue, to proofreading for a prominent ad agency, she has apprenticed herself to writing for over ten years. In 2016, she launched The Secret Library Podcast and has since interviewed over 100 writers, editors, agents, and publishers to get to the bottom of what it takes to write a book. She is currently writing her own novel and co-editing the anthology, I Wrote it Anyway.
Homework Invitations for Conversation 3:
1. Conceive of a simple and elegant ritual (purple velvet gown optional) to begin your writing sessions.
2. Read Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman.
3. Talk with a writer (or two) about the idea of making MORE of your living as a writer through the books themselves.
