How do you know if your next most brilliant idea or divine download is book worthy?
You just had an incredible epiphany and madly filled three notebook pages with the idea, the whole time thinking, I could write a whole book on this topic! I can’t believe how clear I am on this subject! The possibilities are endless! You are energized and inspired but then the writing stops, and quickly a counter voice rushes in to fill the now empty space with the warnings that halt many great potential books… what if I don’t actually have the authority to speak on this topic at all?What if that is it? I am not a PhD or anything, you think, discounting yourself from the natural writing process which is timing and time. What was a high is now a creative low and you cut yourself off from the big open flow you have created.
It happens to the best of us. Join Host Kim O’Hara, an experienced author and book coach, who takes to the mic solo in this episode to talk about her very personal experience with this writer mindset as she grapples with whether she could write a book about “feeling safe” (her download topic) and the weeks (or a lifetime really) that led up to her seeing the importance of this topic and her agency with its exploration.
