Writer Unleashed

#41: The Struggle Most Writers Never Talk About


Listen Later

In the theater of our mind, our story is a multi-dimensional, techno-color, high-def world teeming with life. But inevitably, in our early attempts to transfer that vision onto the page, that world disintegrates.

It’s where a lot of writers get lost. 

Or stop writing altogether.

In today's episode of Writer Unleashed, we'll explore how writers like Ann Patchett and Ta-Nehisi Coates get past this very struggle.

We'll explore:

  • Why there's no such thing as failure (unless you stop writing)
  • The 3 stages of artistic development
  • The Mozart myth
  • What mastery is and how to move steadily towards it

    Take my FREE 6-day audio class on how to break through the most common writing mindset barriers
