Jamie Teaches Mel How to Write a Novel

Episode 1: Discovering Your Writer Identity

My friend Jamie totally scammed me into making a podcast with her. Then she scammed me into writing a novel.

We finished recording season 1 and this is the first episode of our very rudimentary show. Enjoy! Then go hire Jamie to help you write your novel!

From the show notes: In the inaugural episode of 'Jamie teaches Mel how to write a novel,' book coach Jamie and creative Mel dive into the idea of what it means to be a writer. They discuss whether a writing practice is necessary to identify as a writer, explore various methods of writing practice, and share personal experiences about their journeys with writing. Jamie offers insights into project-focused writing versus practice, and they conclude with thoughts on how to initiate and maintain a writing process. The episode sets the stage for future discussions, including tackling writer's block.
