Writing a Book Without Bestseller Ambitions

Welcome to Why Is Nobody Talking About This? episode one. I've spent the last seven months in a creative cocoon, working on my first book. This has been an intense and largely invisible endeavor that has challenged me in ALL the ways. On this first episode, I'm sharing:

+ Why I never considered traditional publishing

+ How the book writing process has surprised me (as someone who is never surprised)

+ The surprising impact of hiring an editor

+ What I did when I'd written 80% of my first draft only to realize I was writing the wrong book

+ Accepting that I wasn't going to meet my deadline and still trusting the process

+ My top tips for anyone who's thinking a book might be inside of them
