#038 — Breaking Down The Writing Process

The pressure to be perfect can stop us from putting our ideas on paper—or screen, as the case may be. But if you follow Tara Gentile’s wisdom and reframe your writing as the beginning of a conversation that invites others weigh in, that can be a game-changer.

Welcome to another of my experiments on the Startup Pregnant Podcast: For the month of March, I’ll be sharing a mini-episode that follows each of my long-form interviews, doing a deep dive into one of the topics that came up in the previous episode and offering listeners a useful strategy or actionable application of the guest’s advice.

In Episode 37, Tara Gentile described her ‘call and response’ approach to the writing process. Today, I’m digging into this concept, explaining how collaboration makes my writing better.

I also walk through the three phases of the writing process, describing how each piece requires a different part of my brain and why it’s useful to separate ideation, execution and editing. Listen in as I break down the writing process, offering tips and tools to help you start a conversation of your own.
