On this week’s bonus GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks about writing books with Scott Huver, author of Beverly Hills Noir; cozy, romance, fiction, and non-fiction writer Jessica Mehring; and Melody Owen of Author Nation. Whether you are writing long-form or short-form, fiction or non, writing has benefits for the author, as well as the reader.
The panel discusses what led them to writing books; their approaches to the art, craft and promotion of writing; and more.
What Inspired Their Writing
– Scott: Discovering the stories … they were all juicy!
– Melody: Always drawn to story to figure out her own life
– Jessica: Compulsion is key! Write with the expectation that other people will read
Why Write a Book
– Jessica: If you have a story you can’t shake
– Melody: Personal Development, understanding you life
– Scott: To prove to myself that I could … and to break out of what I know
Goals
– Scott: Make a list of the people in your network who can help you accomplish your book goals
– Melody: Start one conversation every day. And follow up
– Jessica: Commit to writing something small every day
Final Thoughts
– Melody: If you have a book in you, don’t let it sit
– Jessica: There is nothing wrong with perfectionism – work with it, don’t let it stop you from writing
– Scott: Find the yes! If you believe in what you are doing, talk to whomever you need until you find the yes
