Three Writing Myths
As an aspiring writer you read craft books, listen to podcasts and research courses. There can be information overload and listening to The Resilient Writer helps to bring things into perspective. I feel Rhonda has helped me to unlock and develop a sustainable writing process There are good days and bad days and it’s hard work! In our society of instant gratification it is rewarding to take your time on a project and have someone tell you it is not realistic to finish writing a book in a weekend! Thank you Rhonda for your wise words.
