Yet 45 - Don't let fear stop you from writing your book with author Lorena Para

This week on the show I sat down with author Lorena Para.Lorena has been writing since she was a kid, and published her first novella in 2019. A homeschool mom, Etsy shop owner and chicken wrangler, Lorena says that being an author is “always who I wanted to be.” She went into this knowing completely nothing about the writing and publishing process, and from her perspective it “really takes a couple of books to find out who you are as a writer.” Listen in as Lorena shares a bit of her journey as an author. On this episode, we discuss:Connecting with local author groupsLessons learned along the wayThe importance of never giving up and not letting fear stand in the way of writingHer husband as her greatest supporter and encouragerAnd more! Mentioned on this episode:20 books to 50kThe SPA girls podcast Connect with Lorena@theshortwriter on social mediatheshortwriter.comAbout T.C.
