GYWD 4: The Evolution of a Writer

In last week’s podcast we talked about the importance of having a clear and compelling vision for your writing. But it can be difficult to craft that vision when you’re just starting out and maybe you haven’t written anything yet, or when you don’t feel like you can really call yourself a writer because it isn’t your day job. And when that’s the case, the journey to becoming comfortable thinking of yourself as a writer can take some serious effort - not only plenty of writing, but also efforts to organize your life in order to make the necessary room for your writing identity and vision to emerge and take shape.

Today I’m talking with Keely Thrall, romance writer and sister of the podcast. Keely shares with us how she got the writing bug and her evolution from self-identifying as what she calls a “writer who doesn’t write” to a writer who writes every morning and now teaches and mentor other writers.
