Ep 27: Identity Shifts: From “Wannabe” to “Writer” to “Author”

Every writer goes through identity shifts: the quiet dreaming stage, the moment you finally call yourself a writer, and the leap to sharing your words as an author. In this episode, I’m breaking down what each stage looks like, why the transitions can feel so uncomfortable, and how to know which one you’re in right now.I’ll share how fear and doubt kept me stuck in the “wannabe” stage for years, what changed when I started writing my cozy mystery series, and how publishing my first book transformed the way I saw myself. Whether you’re still writing in secret or ready to own your voice publicly, this conversation will help you see that every stage counts, and that you’re closer than you think to stepping into your next one.Ready to step into your writer identity with confidence?
