#034 - Join me for the “thanks for the advice, but I’m gonna do it MY way” episode where I talk with coach and wildly prolific author, Liesel K. Hill. Liesel breaks one of the biggest rules of publishing by writing in not one, but three very different genres, and Liesel outlines just how she pulls it off for you in detail. There are soooo many goodies for writers in this episode, including the following:
how the myth of the starving artist IS, in fact, a myth,
how pursuing the “wrong” career is never a waste of time,
how you can segment your audience so they’re not confused that you do different things,
Liesel and her writing process, rules – start where you are, baby steps, dictation and breaks,
and why getting into a group for accountability and idea generation is not optional.Otter.ai is the dictation app I just started using for my own writing.
Author Clint Johnson, who talks about the inevitability of disappointment. This is profound, y’all.
