Episode 184: How the Emotional Cycle of Change Relates to Your Book-Writing Journey

In this episode of the Unbound Writer’s Club, Nicola talks about the Emotional Cycle of Change, a model put forward by psychologists Don Kelley and Daryl Conner. She realised it reflects what writers experience as they go through the book creation process. There are five stages – uninformed optimism, informed pessimism, the valley of despair, informed optimism, and success and fulfilment.
