Does writing ever get easier? After publishing 10 books, I can tell you the honest answer: Yes and No. In this video, I’m pulling back the curtain on the reality of a long-term writing career. We often think that once we "make it" or hit a certain milestone, the fear disappears—but the truth is a bit more complex.
I’m sharing the raw reality of what stays difficult and, more importantly, what actually gets better with time. If you are struggling with self-doubt or feeling like you should be "over" the fear by now, this video is for you.
