Honorée Corder on Why There is No Such Thing as Writer’s Block

As a ghostwriter and author coach, I talk to a lot of writers. Whether someone has already written a book, or they’re considering writing their first one, I hear something like these phrases quite often: I’m stuck. I don’t know what to write about. I don’t know how to get started. When you get stuck in the “writer’s vortex,” it can feel debilitating with no clear way of escape. Thankfully, my guest today has a fantastic, brand-new resource to help both aspiring and seasoned authors alike. Her name is Honorée Corder, and this past Monday, she released her newest book, There is No Such Thing as Writer's Block: You Can Unleash Your Inner Prolific Writer. You’ve probably heard Honorée on the podcast before, and she’s made multiple appearances here for a good reason: she’s not only a good friend, but also my business coach, and leader of the Empire Builders Mastermind, which has been an awesome resource for me the last couple of years. Honorée Corder is the author of dozens of books, including: You Must Write a Book, You Must Market Your Book, The Prosperous Writers book series, The Bestselling Book Formula, The Successful Single Mom book series, and many more. In this episode, we do a deep dive into several topics related to writer’s block. We talk about what it means to be a professional writer, how to remove the blocks holding you back, writing to the container of the book, surrounding yourself with other writers, and much more. You can get There is No Such Thing as Writer's Block on Amazon, and I also recommend signing up for Honorée’s extremely helpful email list at https://honoreecorder.com. We also have 5 copies of the book available as a giveaway. The first 5 to leave a review of the Daily Writer Podcast on Apple Podcasts will receive a print copy in the mail. Just leave a review, take a screenshot, email it to me at kent@dailywriterlife.com along with your address, and I’ll drop it in the mail! * * * Today’s episode is sponsored by Vellum, the go-to book formatting software for indie authors who care about creating beautiful ebooks and print books.

David Steen on Writing & Marketing His First Book, “Almost Home”

One of the most exciting parts of hosting this podcast is getting to speak with authors who have just written and released their first book. Of course, I want you to write and release a lot of books! But there’s something very special about your first book because it represents the beginning of a wonderful journey. I’m excited to bring you this conversation with my friend David Steen, who has just released his first book, Almost Home: Setting Our Sights Toward Heaven. A typical farm boy from the South, David grew up in pursuit of the American dream. After college graduation, he staked his claim in the corporate world as an accomplished Senior Designer in Engineering, followed by an adventurous career as a Product Manager. His calling and passion to write, incubating for decades, manifested itself through personal and professional blogging, as well as lots of published articles for various magazines. David resides on a small farm in Hartford, Arkansas, where he enjoys long walks to the creek with his lovely wife and short walks through the field with his sheep. His other passions include writing, music, reading, cooking for their large family, and sipping on a cup of dark roast coffee as often as possible. In this conversation, David and I talk about the main idea of his book and what it means for authors—namely, that we need to make time for space, solitude, and nature in our creative lives. David also shares his writing process for the book as well as his marketing strategies. Most of all, I hope that if you’re thinking about writing your first book, you’ll be encouraged by David’s journey and know that you can do it too! You can connect with David at almosthomebooks.com. * * * Today’s episode is sponsored by Vellum, the go-to book formatting software for indie authors who care about creating beautiful ebooks and print books.
