Episode 71: The Two Kinds of Fear Every Author Faces

If you've named a writing goal for the rest of this year and felt a little knot in your stomach right after, this episode is for you.

This week on The Confident Fiction Author, I'm sharing The Two Kinds of Fear Every Author Faces.

In this episode, you'll discover:
•  The two kinds of fear, and why you release one but read the other like a compass
•  Why I've been scared of writing book six in my Choctaw Tribune series for almost five years
•  The 27,000 words I had to throw away, and why that mistake saved a book
•  The small daily habit that gets you into your writing whether you feel ready or not
•  What to decide now, so you know what to do when you hit a wall in November
