Horrible Writing with Paul Sating

Writing is incredibly lonely and can manifest itself in unhealthy ways. In this episode. Ashley Quach of Deck the Halls (With Matrimony!) comes by to chat about her own struggles with it, how she deals with it, and how it can even be used as a plot developer.   You can find Ashley's work at sassquachradio.com.   Please rate and review Horrible Writing (assuming you're enjoying it), and why not pick up the PERFECT Christmas/Holiday present for that horror fan in your life while you're online by picking up a copy of 12 Deaths of Christmas?

Do you find yourself editing your book to death? Do you never seem to be able to put out as much content as others?

Have you wondered how some people can write 1, 2, 3 or more books per year while you're averaging one per ice age? There may be something very critical, yet simple that you're not doing in your process.

Let's talk about it in this episode. While we're at it, my non-fiction book, "Novel Idea to Podcast: How to Sell More Books Through Podcasting" is almost ready for release. Keep your eyes out for that!

Joanna Penn is an inspiration to the writing community, especially to those of us drinking from the fire hose, trying to understand all that comes with getting published. I've admired her drive and focus for nearly two years now--so I decided to sit down and talk to her about it. Find out: - Is your ladder against the wrong wall? - Does she think drive/focus are inherent traits or developed? - Where hers comes from & how she sustains it. - Why she said, "find your true north." - Why did she tell me to, "just stop that!"? - What does she mean by "focus on the verb, not the noun?" You can find all of her non-fiction books & podcast here. Want to check out her fiction (I am!)? You can find all her fiction here. She's awesome & has helped me immensely. Please check out her books & podcast!    

I landed a superstar! Dave Chesson of Kindlpreneur comes on the show to talk about the tricky balance of being a creative and being a businessperson.   Dave was, "sure I'd never be a writer," and is now making a full-time living from his writing business.   Patrons, of course, you get the exclusive "Get to know you" segment of the show, where Dave shares an exclusive with us. So check that feed.   Thank you for your constantly amazing support of everything I do!   The next episode of Who Killed Julie? is also coming today!   And then I'm getting back to work to feed my family in between recording chapters of Novel Idea to Podcast.   Cheers, Paul

We're told writers are introverts. But is that correct? And what kind of damage can/does it do? Attending writing conferences is scary. How does an introvert get through them?   What about the fixed mindset and how damaging that can be?   Where's an extrovert's place in all of this? I talk about this and more!   Please leave a 5-star rating & review if you haven't already.
