On this episode of GoalChat, Judy Baker of Buzzworthy Books, Life and Business Resiliency Expert Nikki Green, and Kathleen Kaiser, co-host of Talking Book Publishing, joined me to talk about The Writer Life.
My panel shared their writer origin stories, what the writer life means to them, and how they find balance/harmony. They also talked about how to get unstuck, the value of a writing community, and more.
What is The Writer Life?
- Nikki: You can’t turn it off. You see the story in everything you do
- Kathleen: Learning everything I can about all of the industry – the craft and business
- Judy: Connecting with people, learning new things, sharing
Advice for Writers
- Nikki: Just keep going, let it flow, make sense of it later
- Judy: Write consistently, it’s like going to the gym
- Kathleen: Spew, get it out there and come back and clean it up
Favorite Reward
- Kathleen: Gelato
- Judy: Other crafts
- Nikki: A good glass of wine, Legos
