Authors Who Lead - Learn to write a book from bestselling authors and leaders
Business:Entrepreneurship
In this episode of Authors Who Lead, I delve into the concept of resistance in writing. I discuss the challenges that authors face in owning the identity of an author and its impact on the writing process. I share his insights on how resistance can hinder the completion and publication of a book, and why aspiring writers must embrace the title of "author" from the very beginning. I also explore the link between creativity, fear, and the human desire for belonging, offering encouragement and practical advice for overcoming resistance.
