Wisdom From Dead Dahlias with Writer and Website Designer Sue Evergreen
<p>What does it mean to drop a rock? If you imagine every project, every responsibility, every role as a rock, we usually carry around a pretty big sack of them. That’s not a bad thing! But it is all about finding balance in your life.</p><p>In this episode, writer and website designer Sue Evergreen and I talk about finding sparks of inspiration, not just in the incredible, but in the mundane. We discuss practicing the act of letting go, learning to identify the difference between your “diamonds” and what external pressures deem as “diamonds,” and taking little steps to create change.</p><p>Writing doesn’t always have to be about making money. It can be healing. It can be meditative. It can help you see the extraordinary in the ordinary. And it can help you drop some rocks!</p><p>You can find Sue Evergreen and Dropping Rocks here:</p><p>https://droppingrocks.com/</p><p>https://www.facebook.com/DroppingRocks</p><p>https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092433550733 https://www.instagram.com/droppingrocksblog/</p><p>Thank you for listening today!

A Writing Career Worth More Than The Paper It’s Printed On with Author Melinda Di Lorenzo
<p>With over 40 books to her name, Melinda Di Lorenzo is a wealth of information about the publishing industry. In this episode, we talk about what it means to set achievable daily/weekly goals and why it is important to view your craft as your career.</p><p>Melinda and I also discuss how writing is only 10% of publishing and selling a book. The other 90%? Marketing, collaborating, and networking.</p><p>A successful career is not only about being a talented writer. It’s about “timing and luck.” One of my favorite quotes from our chat is “overnight success takes ten years.” What a great reminder that this industry takes time!</p><p>Write down those great ideas. Expand them into story. And whatever you do, don’t give up. Whatever success looks like for you, keep going.</p><p> From pre-edits to acknowledging your craft as your career to that endless agent/publisher loop, this is not an episode you’ll want to miss. </p><p>You can find Melinda here:</p><p>www.facebook.com/MelindaDiLorenzo</p><p>@melindawrites on X</p><p>@melindadilorenzo on Insta</p><p>@melindawrites on TikTok</p><p>You can find her books here:</p><p>https://www.amazon.com/stores/Melinda-Di-Lorenzo/author/B073ZQM76N?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1774128781&sr=8-1&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=b161bdf3-5c67-4a6e-9699-5197e103db04</p><p>If you enjoy these episodes, let me know!

Sometimes All You Need is a Sparkly Bracelet with Pediatrician and Fiction Writer Kati Eisenhuth
<p>Have you ever thought that, since you didn’t go to school for it or don’t feel like you have “natural talent,” writing isn’t for you? Pediatrician and fiction writer, Kati Eisenhuth, and I talk about how time and effort can forgo our perception of natural talent as long as you stick with it and don’t give up.</p><p>Rejection happens to everyone. What matters is that we keep going despite those rejections. In this episode, Kati shows us that writing is like running track; If you perform badly during a meet, you just have to get back out there for the next one like nothing happened.</p><p>And there’s a twist to this episode! Kati turns the tables and interviews me! Want to find out my origin story along with Kati’s incredible encouragement? You’ll just have to listen!</p><p>You can find Kati here:</p><p>katieisenhuth.com</p><p>@katieisenhuth</p><p>If you are a writer and you have an encouraging word to share with the writing community, please send me an email at <a target="_blank" href="mailto:writersinthewildernesspodcast@gmail.com">writersinthewildernesspodcast@gmail.com</a>. I’d love to share your words of wisdom with the writing community.</p><p>Song: Step</p><p>Artist: Owl Nest</p><p>Music by: CreatorMix.com</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
