You feel like your book is missing something.

When I talk with women about their book projects, one of the most common things I hear them say over and over is:

I feel like my book is missing something, but I don't know what it is. And I don't know how to figure IT out.

In the episode:

- the typical way these conversations go

- what happens when I have these conversations & how I respond
