480: Lesson 5 – Choose Abundance Over Scarcity

Welcome to DIY MFA Radio, where I do a deep dive into the writing life as well as the craft and business of writing. Today's episode continues our series: Ten Lessons from Ten Years of Podcasting. This is Lesson 5 – Choose Abundance Over Scarcity

Have you gotten the DIY MFA Starter Kit yet? This is a two week email series full of worksheets to help you DIY your MFA, so you can get the "knowledge without the college."

In this episode I discuss:

• Why so many people in publishing (and other fields) hold on to a scarcity mindset.

• How scarcity can serve as a safety net for writers who harbor self-doubt.

• The way an abundance mindset can set us up for writing success.

• The importance of equity in abundance, and making sure all writers can shine.
