About Podcast -

Welcome to Becoming A Writer, where writing inspiration is served fresh in 20 minutes or less, every 2nd and 4th Saturday.

One big lesson to learn as writers - it’s not just about publishing a book—it’s about becoming a writer who writes for life. There’s plenty of advice out there on how to write and publish, but not much about how to be a writer—how to love the process and grow into it. Once you figured that out, you will never stop writing.

This podcast is here to help you explore, experiment with, and express your writer self. Writing can be fun, fulfilling, and a lifelong joy—and your books deserve the writer you’re meant to be.

E40 - Befriend Your Creative Fears.

Episode Summary:

After a health break, I return to explore the role of fear in a writer’s journey with you. Fear of judgment, rejection, or not being “good enough” can paralyze creativity, yet fear also signals growth. Through personal reflections, a cycling metaphor, and wisdom from Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, I share how we writers can reframe fear as a companion instead of a roadblock.

Key Points Discussed:

Fear is natural and part of writing. Common fears: judgment, failure, rejection, imposter syndrome. Writing is vulnerable—criticism feels personal. Fear mirrors learning cycles: wobble, fall, rise, succeed. Challenges expand your comfort zone and help you “level up.” Fear can join the journey, but it doesn’t get to drive.

Takeaways:

Fear points to where your growth awaits. By befriending it and letting courage lead, you’ll not only keep writing—you’ll watch your journey thrive.

E39 - Write Your Book Like You Read One—Let Your Words Surprise You.

Episode Summary:

In today’s episode, we dive into a refreshing mindset shift for writers: Write like you read. Whether you're crafting fiction or non-fiction, approaching your book with curiosity, imagination, and conversational flow can not only make the writing process more enjoyable, but also make your words resonate more deeply with your readers. We talk about how letting your story unfold like a movie in your mind or a conversation with a friend can lead to powerful creative breakthroughs and a stronger connection to your work.

Key Points Discussed:

• The Movie in Your Head: How visualizing your scenes like a movie can help fiction writers write immersive, emotionally rich stories.
• Scene Spontaneity: Embracing unplanned moments that emerge during writing can be a sign of creative flow.
• Write Like You Read: Letting the next scene or paragraph surprise you, just like when you're reading a great book.
• Fiction Writing Tips - the movie mindset.
• Non-Fiction Writing Tips - the conversation mindset.
• Avoiding Perfectionism: Writing your first draft is about freedom, not flawlessness. Editing will come later.
• Why Writing Like This Helps: It reduces overwhelm, unlocks creativity, and makes writing more enjoyable and sustainable.

Takeaways:

• Your story might already know what it wants to be. Let it lead you.
• First drafts are not for perfection—they're for discovery.
• Writing like you're reading (or watching a movie or talking to a friend) brings joy back into the creative process.
• Let your writing breathe—you’re not just crafting words, you’re crafting an experience.
• The goal is not to control the story, but to collaborate with it.
• Whether you’re a panster or a plotter, surprise is your friend.
• Write from a place of curiosity, not control.

E38 - "Who Will Read My Book?"

Episode Summary:

In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, I return after a healing hiatus to reflect on the transformative power of reading and the doubt that often haunts writers — Who will read my books? Through my own journey of dealing with PCOS, healing through books, and reconnecting with my love for reading, I remind you that if books have changed our lives, our own books have the potential to change others’ lives too.

Key Points Discussed:

• Health Update & Healing Journey: Rubina shares her recent challenges with PCOS and how a new doctor and Ayurvedic medicines are beginning to help.
• Books As Lifesavers: Reading books on healing, trauma, feminine energy, and more has been an intense, emotional journey and a vital part of her recovery.
• Power of Books Across Time: From Agatha Christie to Gabor Maté, she reflects on how books have shaped her life and creative identity.
• Reading = Transformation: Books have saved her in many stages of life and are helping her make sense of her current challenges.
• The Writer’s Doubt: She confronts the recurring question — Who will read my book? — and dismantles it with compassion and logic.
• Imagine If They Gave Up: What if the writers we love had given in to self-doubt? Rubina poses this powerful what-if to challenge our limiting beliefs.
• Writers' Responsibility & Gift: Our stories have the power to comfort, uplift, and transform lives, even if we may never fully see their impact.

Takeaways:

• Books are healing tools, not just entertainment. They meet you where you are and move you forward.
• The reading life fuels the writing life. If books helped you, your words will help others too.
• Doubt is part of the process, but don’t let it stop your book from reaching someone who needs it.

• Keep writing your book — someone’s waiting for it, even if they don’t know it yet.

E35 - Turn Your Dream Into Reality: Complete Your First Draft This Year!

💬Episode Summary:In this episode, we discuss how to overcome the fear and uncertainty of writing a first draft and turn your dream of completing a book into reality. Using a combination of creativity and logical planning, you can create a writing routine that works for you and ensures steady progress. Whether you're a discovery writer or an outliner, you'll learn how to trust the process, stay consistent, and finish your first draft this year.

💬Key Points Discussed:

• Embracing Uncertainty in Writing: Writing is like driving at night—you only need to see a little ahead to reach your destination.
• The Shitty First Draft: First drafts are messy, and that’s okay! Treat it as a way to familiarize yourself with your story or idea.
• Managing Writing Fears: Your brain craves certainty, but writing requires embracing the unknown and pushing forward despite the discomfort.
• Using Logic to Support Creativity: The logical brain can help the creative brain by setting realistic goals and structuring writing sessions.
• Step 1: Figure Out Your Writing Output: Identify how many days and hours you can dedicate to writing and set a manageable daily writing goal.
• Step 2: Establish a Production Goal: Based on your writing output, calculate how long it will take to finish your draft and set a deadline.
• Step 3: Plan to Win Every Writing Session.

• Step 4: Cross the Finish Line: Pushing through the final stretch builds confidence, reinforces your identity as a writer, and sets the foundation for revisions and future projects.

💬Takeaways:

• Writing a first draft is about progress, not perfection.
• Planning and consistency help overcome fear and writer’s block.

🗨️Key Points Discussed:

1. Slow Down, You Crazy Child - Reducing excessive content creation allowed me to focus on my core goal—writing books.
2. Enjoying Yourself Is Super Important - Slowing down makes the creative process more enjoyable, leading to greater productivity.
3. I Know More Than I Realize - A conversation with an aspiring writer helped me recognize my depth of knowledge.
4. It’s OK Not to Have a Mentor - Not finding a mentor forced me to learn independently and develop my own writing process.
5. Now My Author Life Begins - After ten years of learning, I am ready to step into the role of an author.

🗨️Takeaways:

• Prioritising fewer but more meaningful projects leads to better creative fulfilment.
• Enjoyment enhances productivity and keeps burnout at bay.
• You often know more than you give yourself credit for—sharing your knowledge can be eye-opening.
• Not having a mentor can push you to develop a more authentic and self-sufficient approach.
• Every phase of the writing journey has its lessons—embrace each step fully.

E32 - You Don't Need More Writing Advice. You Need More Writing Action.

(Please note: The podcast is going on a winter break. Will be back on 1st Feb 2025.)

Episode Summary: In this episode, we dive into a common trap many writers fall into: the advice blackhole. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of self-help resources available today. But at some point, we need to shift our focus from consuming advice to taking actionable steps.

Key Points Discussed:

As the year wraps up, reflect on how much time you’ve spent taking action versus gathering advice. Promise yourself to prioritize action in the coming year to truly find and develop your writer self.
