    055 - Listen to Your Gut with Kelly Swingler

    055 - Listen to Your Gut with Kelly Swingler

    It's November 7 which means we are 7 days into Nanowrimo, the best 30 day writing challenge i have ever participated in. For those who don't know, how you could you not, but just in case, Nanowrimo is where writers around the world gather to write 50k words in 30 days.

    If you're participating in NanoWrimo you can tell me what you're working on on the corresponding image on my Instagram.

    Because we're in that season of writing, I thought it best to encourage you and that's why we have Kelly Swingler joining us for this amazing conversation today. Today we are going to talk all about burnout and how real it is.

    Kelly is the HR Changemaker, burnout expert, inspirational speaker and author. Known for being a rebel and a rulebreaker, Kelly has been ripping up the rulebook since 2002 after realizing that the way we are working isn't working, and how we are taught to define success is outdated. Today, Kelly helps HR leaders all over the world to succeed without giving up their careers or jeopardizing their well being by recognizing that they are people too.

    So my fellow listeners and writers alike, this November we're not going to experience burnout because I'm confident that once we listen to what Kelly has to say, we can get through this amazing 30 days of writing.

    051 - From Discovery Writer to Dedicated Plotter with Ron Lamberson

    051 - From Discovery Writer to Dedicated Plotter with Ron Lamberson

    One of the things I enjoy is getting to know those within the writing community. Listening to their backstories and why they write what they write.

    From aerospace engineers to librarians, writers expand the globe and beyond.

    I've been talking with Ron Lamberson (on the latest episode of Books, Blogs, & Business) about outlining and how it can be done at any level in the writing process. He really explained how your outline doesn't limit you but actually helps you become and efficient writer.

    We dived deeper into his books and why he choose to write science fiction humor. And Ron even shared the not so secret place he get his ideas from.

    If you're bouncing between discovery writing and outlining before writing then this conversation is just for you.

    Ron Lamberson is a freelance writer and novelist who has published three novels, including A Grave Invitation and The Poachers of Immortality. He holds a BA in Creative Writing from Purdue and an MBA from Indiana University. Ron is a passionate traveler, having visited over twenty countries on five continents. He spends his free time struggling to learn guitar, attending concerts, and avoiding injury on the tennis court.
