How do you know when it is the right time to write and publish your book? And then, how do you find the courage to step back from a project that you’ve poured your heart into so you can create a larger body of work?
Today, you’ll hear a conversation with my friend, Heather Stimmler from the highly acclaimed Secrets of Paris website and newsletter. A labor of love, Secrets of Paris has been a trusted reference for original feature stories, useful sightseeing advice, and recommendations. She has been sharing insider information about Paris for visitors and residents for over twenty years.
Now Heather is sinking her teeth into her next challenge—writing the book about Paris tourism that has long been in her heart. She’ll share why writing her book is such a challenge and, and how she’s finding her way.
Listen in to hear:
Plus the small steps action plan that’s helping her move forward.

I’ve been leading workshops in Paris since 2005. My Paris historical novel and many of my writing projects have been inspired by my time there.
Come to Paris with me in September for Paris Sketchbook, a fun workshop for creative play. Or, join me for Write Your Heart Out, designed to embolden your most authentic and honest writing.
