I'll bet you can relate to this post that my guest shared this week

My name is Jelaine Lombardi and I am a writer. There, I said it.

For years I have kept these words silent, as I feverishly wrote on. I minimized the importance of my story. I could not even speak of my book without embarrassment clinging to my words.

Imposter syndrome.

Who am I to think I can write?

But I did it. I completed my memoir. 117,000 words of it!

I am not saying that I am a great writer. I may not have proper command of grammar or the lovely twist of a metaphor.

I am just saying this. I am a writer!

This week I interviewed Jelaine Lombardi. She is self-publishing a memoir entitled "Running Around Naked". During our time together, we get into ALL. THE. THINGS! We talk about the process of completing a memoir, self-publishing, writers supporting other writers, and about life growing up in a nudist park! I can't wait to share this episode with you so we can all give Jelaine some love and support when her book drops (she'll keep us updated).

Jelaine's favorite places to hang out and connect are the following Facebook groups: Aspiring Memoir Writers, Memoir Mentors, Memoir Writers, and Happy Writers (which is not necessarily memoir but has been great for resources).
