Mindset Meets Mastery

“If there's no tears from the writer, there's going to be no tears from the reader. If there's no laughter from the writer, there will be no laughter from the reader.”

Many people dream of writing a book, but only a small fraction get to live that dream. One thing is certain: The world needs your story and you can write it as either nonfiction or fiction. That is a choice. ! Join us in this week’s episode as we demolish the negative mindsets from “what if’s” to “lack of’s” in order to build clarity and motivation to move forward. Arlene and award-winning author, CJ Peterson discuss which type of writer they are and how to decide what writing style is best for you.
