About this listen

Being a writer is not just about typing. It's also about surviving the rollercoaster of the creative journey.

Self-doubt, fear of failure, the need for validation, perfectionism, writer's block, comparisonitis, overwhelm, and much more. When you're going through these things, it can feel like you're alone. But actually, they are part of the creative process, and every author goes through them too.

This book collects the mindset issues that writers experience, that I have been through myself over the last nine years, and that perhaps you will experience at different times on the creative journey. Each small chapter tackles a possible issue and then offers an antidote, so that you can dip in and out over time. It includes excerpts from my own personal journals as well as quotes from well-known writers. I hope it helps you on the road to becoming a successful author.

I just received the physical copy in the mail and haven’t yet had a chance to read it. Currently I’m doing mundane stuff so this was great to listen to while doing that.
I loved the narrator, really loved her voice as it was easy to listen to and didn’t grate on your nerves like some voice. I will definitely listen to more of her narrations.
Loved the book and will listen to the others I haven’t got around to listening to just yet.
