Ep 28: Lessons from Publishing My Seventh Book (Three Years and One Baby Later)
from The Writing Mom Podcast · host Josee Smith
Publishing my seventh book this week felt completely different from every book before it—and in the best way. In this episode, I’m sharing what I learned about creativity, persistence, and identity after writing and publishing my first book as a mom. We’ll talk about following your true creative pull (even when it means taking a big detour), why letting go of deadlines actually helped me finish, and how publishing feels steadier and more joyful now that I trust myself and the long game of indie publishing.If you’re writing through a full, messy, beautiful season of life—or trying to find your way back to your book—you’ll hear why your creative dreams are still very much possible, even if your timeline looks different than it used to.Ready for support as you work toward your next finished book?
