This podcast is both a balm for the stressed, weary writer’s soul and a light to keep writing. Rachael’s voice, her insights and guests provide exactly what I need as a writer - to know I’m not doing it wrong and encouragement to write one more word.
I’ve been a listener for a few months now, my first memoir was published a year ago. Last night I saw my first one star review on Goodreads and it put me in a bad space. On today’s episode you talked about negative reviews and you said something along the lines of caring less about the one star reviews and more about the thoughtful two and three star reviews. It was exactly what I needed to hear to change my perspective. Thank you so much for the time you put into this podcast.
Always enjoy the topics and enthusiasm of the host. Keep up the great work!
There are so few successful writers who are willing to pull back the curtain on the writing life, so I feel very grateful to Rachael for doing just that. Guests are working writers who reveal personal specifics about habits, struggles and best practices. There are also solo episodes (my fave) where Rachael answers listeners’ questions. These are basically mini-masterclasses.
Rachael has created an important and comforting window to the process of writing with this podcast. I’m a longtime listener, and still with every guest learn something new and helpful. It’s also fun to follow her journey through this career.
