In this second part of my interview with Julie Gerstenblat, author of “The Daughters of Nantucket,” I talk with Julie about the mindset side of writing.
We talked about:
How she’s convinced herself that her daily word count goal is much easier than it actually is (this is a cool Jedi mind trick) and the pep talks she gives herself
The part of writing her next book that is really freaking her out–and how she’s dealing with it
How her writing group is structured (I totally want to steal this)
The absolute mind trip of becoming an empty nester
Why she thinks the writing advice to “show don’t tell” is overrated and misinterpreted
How her Myers-Briggs personality plays out in her home life and work life
