Tyler Merritt is an Actor, Author, Activist, and Encourager, and speaking with him on this latest episode of Write the Damn Book Already was nothing short of joy-giving.

His first book, I Take My Coffee Black, is part personal story, part history lesson, part laugh-out-loud humor, and part perspective-considering/shifting, and it's a must-read I'll be recommending for years to come.

[6:13] The reality of not knowing what will resonate with a reader and trusting your own voice (Plus, honoring the value of content that you include JUST FOR YOU!)

[6:58] The community writing approach Tyler uses to keep himself "in check" (that prevents getting too much outside opinion that confuses him more than helps him)

[12:50] How Tyler sees his book as a love letter to all the things he loves, and how he intentionally and subtly included points intended to educate without shaming or proselytizing

[14:30] Elizabeth's "stupid" question of the month (asking this was my BOLD MOVE of the day!)

[20:20] How Tyler figured out how to organize so much
