Coach Sarah and I discuss the might of the written word…and what about the value of our stories shared anyway? Both regarding the writer awhile the reader, we consider the realities of publishing our life’s experiences…personal and professional.
How to do it…self-publish, hybrid publishing, or working with a formal publisher? What happens after writing for weeks or even years, you realize the need to either start over or re-write the lost sort-out of your most burdensome inner trauma?
Sarah and I cross paths with our juxtaposed youthful reading and writing experience.
We discuss…when we write, how much we write, jacket or no jacket, working online and offline, and writing in big chunks of time away from home or squirreled away during private quiet minutes adjacent to all our daily distractions. I touch on my massively inward journey, keeping score and the process of it all.
After 6.49 hours of writing per day on average for two and a half years, and sometimes writing 10, 12, or even 18 hours at a time, I explain my commitment alongside my sacrifice to accomplish the task.
We chase our tails a bit over the notion of personal pain and trauma processing on paper, versus after the fact.
In summary, we both agree on the critical nature of reading aloud, and working with programs utilizing Read Aloud functionality. Finally, how about the on-the-shelf publishing…printing small or large runs…print it first, or record the audio book first, and why?
The emotional content runs deep as we share our experiences of actually writing a book versus not writing a book, and the chore of not only writing, but publishing, and bringing our works forward to the world.
