Plus, David Huebert's Q&A goes deep, the inside scoop on cover design with debut author Laura Leffler, and it's Bonus Episode time with bestsellers Jean Meltzer and Fiona Barton!
"We writers are usually comprised of several selves—I have the capital ‘W’ Writer self (my preferred mode) who actually writes fiction; then there’s the Author self, who promotes and talks about that work to an audience; then there are the offshoots of those identities." Love it!
I'm getting better at being a Writer. Being an Author is a whole lot harder and less enjoyable for me. And along the way, I've ended up created numerous alternate versions of me.
This was a jammed pack newsletter! I am excited to read Chelsea’s new book and loved her coaching around the writing blocks of self worth, which I’m going to retrofit memoir :) The role of the unconscious is super interesting to me — how to stay with the urgency of wanting to write your story (and the pleasures of it) and not be daunted by the fears of putting it out there. The reasons, like the best stories, are almost never on the surface. Thank you!
