How I Write a Book

Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors! In this solo episode I share my personal writing process, tips and tricks I use to get my books written, and how I possibly make things harder than they need to be. Other topics I discuss include: ·       How I navigate writing a book with ADHD. ·       How to not be overwhelmed by the “shoulds”! ·       Why hyper-focus is my super power but can take a while to kick into action. ·       Why I both love and loath deadlines. ·       The role of music in my writing process. ·       Why I can’t write in the small moments and don’t write every day. ·       Why it’s important to start with a pretty notebook. ·       The importance I place on the word “something”. ·       And my answer to the question: Are you still a writer when you’re not writing? If you’re interested in other peoples’ writing processes, or feel like you’re doing it wrong, check out the often chaotic and quirky way I go about writing a book, and take comfort in the knowledge that there is no one way in being an author.
