Many of us think our writing needs to take readers somewhere, and needs to help them think or feel a certain way.

In this episode of The Written Compass, I share how this thinking can easily keep you stuck and not writing… the very opposite of your book writing goals! I provide you with some tips and tricks for shifting this mindset from “needing to know the answers” to “being open to what the words want to share.” And, I talk about the relationship between your words and the readers’ experience with them.

After listening, share this episode and your thoughts with me over on IG @shanahartman_
