She started writing again as a means to process her infertility struggles. Linnea March, a parent of two boys, former educator, and author of Faultless Notion, is on the show today.
In this episode, Linnea shares how fanfiction helped her through her infertility struggles and what she learned from that experience. She also tells us what prompted her to not only finish but also publish a story she wrote seven years ago, which how-to books transformed her writing, and which part of the book publishing process she finds the hardest.
We also learn how Linnea sets manageable writing goals while keeping up with family responsibilities, and we share which mindset shifts made all the difference in permitting ourselves to set aside that time to write. And don’t miss Linnea’s methods for overcoming imposter syndrome.
Fun fact, Linnea also surprises us with her connection to author Stephanie Meyer. And, as always, we discuss which books we and our kids love most.
