So you want to write a book but aren't sure where to start?


Author Sarah Dressler has created an incredible resource for new and aspiring authors. Her non-fiction book How to Really Write Your Book and Other Forms of Self-Torture is a practical, helpful guide that takes would-be writers through the entire process, from the initial spark of an idea all the way through to the finished, published product.


She's also written several novels including her most recent work, Sweet Summertide, which is number 4 in her Christmas Cove series. On this episode Sarah sits down with host  @tcburr  to discuss all things writing, including some of the best (and worst) writing advice she's ever received.

So you’ve always dreamed of writing a book but haven’t done it yet…why not? 


It’s not because you don’t have what it takes… you do.It’s not because you don’t have the time, and it’s not because you don’t have the right tools. I’ve become convinced that the main thing holding you back from finally writing that book is your mindset. 


For far too long, we have subscribed to limiting beliefs that have sabotaged our goals, undercut our progress, and kept us from chasing our dreams of writing. Not anymore.


Your story deserves to be written, and you’re the only person who can write it. 


Fear and imposter syndrome are not the authors here - you are. The best way to battle your limiting beliefs is to get words on the page, and to keep going when it gets tough. 


My name is T.C. Burr, and I am so excited to walk with you on this writing journey, and to encourage you every step of the way. 


Because it’s not that you haven’t written your book, it’s just that you haven’t written it yet. Let’s change that.
