Writing Your First Book, with Jen Louden
Highlights from my recent conversation with bestselling author and book coach Jen Louden.
I had the chance to sit down and interview the one and only Jennifer Louden on the podcast. We had a wide-ranging conversation about answering that calling to write, and specifically about writing our first book.
The distinction between the desire to write and the desire to learn the craft of writing.
The emotional vulnerability involved in sharing one's writing.
The benefits and challenges of joining writing groups.
The importance of finding the right mentors and supportive environments for writers.
The pressure associated with achieving specific writing goals and external success.
The cathartic nature of writing and its potential for personal growth.
The evolving role of writing coaches in the publishing industry.
I wanted to capture some of the key highlights in this post. But you can also listen to the entire conversation here.
