In this episode, I share how viewing your WIP as “unfinished” instead of “shitty” will be immensily helpful by using the comparaison of building a house. It’s a conversation I had with many of my writer friends that has helped them a lot and I’m sure it will benefit you too! I also talk about why I decided not to submit my old short stories anymore.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Balancing giving yourself time to write the best book possible while also pushing yourself to meet a deadline that’s a little stretch (yes, both are possible 😜)
  • How to make a plan for you to finish a draft by a certain date and how that can be useful in your process
  • How to see the progress you’re making on your novel by breaking it down in smaller pieces
  • Why it is important to diversify yourself as a writer, how it can bring you more stable income but also more joy in your career, as well as ways for you to do it
  • How making your goal less specific opens you up for more hope that you can reach the life of your dreams
  • How to find the recipe to write strong opening pages for any genre
  • The steps to approach any writing problems as a challenge
  • Get inspired by other stories to make sure your story innovates while still being in conversation with the works of your genre
  • How woo-woo I am about characters and ideas
  • How to craft interesting characters
  • Why sometimes the best thing to do is to move away from the challenge

If there’s one thing that contributed to my success in the query trenches, it’s this: asking “Why?” with absolutely everything!

I break this down in details in this episode so you’ll see how empowering it is to use this technique to write the strongest novel possible. I also talk about theme and how crucial it is to be intentional about it when writing stories.

Surprise! I’m back! In this episode, I talk about my still-ongoing querying journey, how hard it is, but also the lessons I’ve learned during the worst months of my life, health-wise, that are helping me get through querying with more peace. I had a major realization while recording the episode that I think will also help you tremendously on your querying journey, so this episode is definitely not one to miss!

Then I talk about my decision not to track my writing in October before I get into the topic of embodying the writer you want to become. I promise I don’t get woo-woo; I keep it actionable and grounded in science. Plus I share my favorite writing affirmations!

And how to process the emotions that arise when you’re receiving feedback to allow you to use them in the most effective way and make your story better (without risking ruining your story or driving yourself mad with the comments you get!)

In this episode, I share how I realized that I wasn’t trusting myself as a writer, how it was hindering me, and how I overcame it. I also make a bold statement about why most of us work for years and years on the same novel and how we can finally move on!

Recorded on August, 15th 2022

In this episode, I talk about how we sabotage ourselves as writers when we’re trying to reach our goals: how we do it, why we do it, and how to stop doing it by journaling. I also tell you how I’ve been sabotaging myself since I started working on the fourth draft of my novel and how I was able to get back on track!

Mentioned in this episode:


The questions to journal about are:

  • How am I sabotaging myself?
  • Why am I sabotaging myself?
  • What are the goals I’m trying to attain? Why did I set those goals to myself in the first place?
  • What actions can I take tomorrow to stop sabotaging myself?
