In this episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I’m talking with my wonderful friend Greta Woolley about her incredible book “S.O.S.: Survival Guide for Teachers, Old and New.” I was honored to be able to support her in writing this book over the course of my 8-week writing program Your Book Roadmap. (And Greta recently published her second beautiful book, "Grief's Child: The Ups and Downs and All Arounds of Love, Loss and Life.")
It was really so beautiful and incredible for me to witness and journey with her as this book poured out of her!
Greta shares:
How she knew she was ready to write her book and how it wasn’t the spectacular moment she thought it would be.
The challenges she went through during her writing process and what kept her going.
Her favorite writing exercise to implement when she was worrying about her book.
What she feels and how she’s different now that her book is out in the world.
I think you’ll be inspired by this conversation and what you can do when you allow yourself to be supported along your writing journey.
