Ep. 080: Jill Baguchinsky on Being Fearless

Rob Kellet, writing as Robyn Kelly, talks to Rachael about imposter syndrom, the worst advice he ever got from Rachael, and about the joy of revision.  Rob Kellett is the self-published author of the “Best Laid” series, which he describes as a rom-Dom-com written under his pseudonym Robyn Kelly.  He hopes to earn enough money with his writing to buy a tweed jacket with leather patches on the elbows to really live the fantasy writer’s life.   Since he doesn’t have any aspirations of being a full-time author, he’s as surprised as you are to be invited on the show (but who can say no to Rachael?)   Rob was a computer programmer before it was fashionable, and has found his true calling doing accounting for an event firm in San Francisco.  In his spare time he spends too much time researching and not enough writing.
