Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors!

In this episode, I chat with author, book coach, and writing retreat host, David Rocklin. Some of the topics we discuss in this episode include:

· Why David's drawn to hosting writing retreats and what's in store for you if you join his writing retreat in France in 2024.

· Why being a part of a writing community is so important.

· David's take on writing block and how you can overcome it.

· The importance of story intimacy and how to really get to know your characters.

· Why writing your way into a corner can be a good thing.

· The pros of switching publishers.

· Where the inspiration for David's latest book, The Electric Love Song of Fleischl Berger, came from.

· How to know when it's time to start writing your book.

This episode is guaranteed to get you inspired to attend a retreat, read David's books, and reconsider your relationship to your story and your characters. When you're ready, grab a drink, find a comfy chair, sit back and enjoy the show!
