✍️ My Nonlinear Book Writing Process
A conversation with Jacqueline Fisch on 15-minute book sprints, the power of processing through writing, and starting with insecurity but publishing anyway
“You’re giving space for the process to unfold. You show up most days of the week, and LET the words come. No judging or cajoling. Simply surrendering to what wants to come through.”
Greetings, Dohnuts! I am delighted to share a recent conversation with for her podcast, How Women Write. I love her approach to teaching creativity through her Intuitive Writing School.
We talked about writing habits, starting small, reading rabbit holes, running my business without social media, permission slips, and how writing from the “wound” rather than the scar can be a nurturing way to explore challenges and life experiences without needing to tie lessons into tidy bows.
Check out the full show notes from this conversation, including:
🧰 Access templates and Loom walkthroughs of how I organize every stage of the ideating, writing, editing, and marketing process in this free Author Toolkit, including Loom walkthroughs of my Notion idea Collection Bucket, kanban-style book board, and chapter/essay tracker. 🎧 Listen to the Behind-the-Book Spotify playlist, check out my favorite writing and book-related podcasts, and listen to the Rolling in Doh podcast episode playlist »
You might also appreciate Jacqueline’s wild story of recently getting suspended without warning from her Instagram and Facebook accounts. Writing teachers are a menace and society must be protected from them!! She recounts the gifts in the garbage rummaged from this one in, “I didn’t even get to say goodbye.”
Last but not least, for fellow solopreneurs, don’t miss our earlier Free Time conversation on her creative approaches to running her small business, back in her video-free days, which is an ongoing permission slip for those of you who need it!
Thank you, as always, for reading and listening!1
