In this episode I had the honor of sitting down with master writing coach Dawn Josephson.

In 1998, Dawn took a huge leap, setting out to start her own business as a freelance editor and writer. This led to many ghostwriting projects, before eventually becoming a hybrid publisher in 2000.

After 6 years, she sold that business and became a writing coach - the job she still has today.

Dawn's favorite part of being a writing coach is helping writers navigate from being lost and confused, to seeing that "Aha!" moment when the light bulb comes on and they suddenly become unstuck.

Listen in as Dawn and I discuss:

• Her journey of becoming a writing coach

• When you should consider hiring a writing coach

• The category that nearly 100% of writing roadblocks fall into

• Rediscovering your inner artist

• And more!

Mentioned in this episode:

The War of Art by Steven Pressfield

About T.C. Burr

After years of putting it off, I have started writing my debut novel—a story about friendship, and about growing up. It follows the lives of a group of young men as they navigate the world between two mountainous seasons of life, with all the twists, turns and trials that come with growing up.

Through this podcast, I aim to highlight inspiring stories from fellow writers, entrepreneurs, and creatives, offering encouragement and practical advice for those pursuing their own creative and business ventures.

A dream left on the shelf is one of life's greatest regrets.

Today's a great day to get started.

It's not that you haven't done it, it's just that you haven't done it yet.
