Do you ever wish you could fast forward through your writing journey to the part where you're an expert (and a bestseller)? On today's episode, Jessica Jo chats about the levels of skill development, from unconscious incompetence all the way to conscious competence.

In so many professions, you get the pleasure and benefit of chatting with your co-workers. You can share tips, ask questions, normalize your experiences, and bounce ideas off each other. As writers, we often work alone and don’t have access to a writing friend or community. The goal of FREE CAKE is to have those meaningful, casual conversations about our work. If you have writing questions or topics you’d like to hear discussed on the podcast, email [email protected].
