In this week’s episode of The Author Dilemma Show, we dive into the real, raw challenges and triumphs of the writing journey. Our hosts, J.E. Jack, Hyrum Hawks, and Jennifer Carr, share insights on overcoming the dreaded “muddle in the middle” of book drafts, the unique pressures of writing a series, and how each story idea competes for precious writing time. They also tackle the realities of building a readership and finding the delicate balance between creativity and effective marketing.
The conversation turns candid as they address the impact of social media on author communities, especially in a divisive climate. Hear their perspectives on using platforms constructively, respecting diverse viewpoints, and the discipline required to think twice before posting. If you’re a writer looking for guidance on finishing your projects or just curious about the emotional highs and lows of an author’s world, this episode is packed with honest advice and encouragement.
