In this episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the timeline of drafting, editing and submitting (and editing and submitting again) that led to finally getting a publication deal for my new novel BEFORE & AFTER YOU & ME. It has been quite a long journey filled with ups and downs to get here! And I think it's really important to hear the real stories behind others' success. In fact, many times books aren't published in the order in which the writer wrote them (which has certainly been true for me!) In this episode you'll hear: What inspired the idea for this story 12 years ago. How I played around with the structure, setting and POV. Ways I took feedback to make my book better while staying true to myself and my vision for the book. What I feared would happen if I made any big changes to the book. The discouragement after making it to an acquisitions meeting at a big publisher but not getting an offer… and how I was able to learn from that experience and later get a publication deal with my wonderful publisher Owl Hollow Press. The process of working with amazing editors to get the book to the next level, which helped me grow so much as a writer. So even if it's a long journey to get YOUR book out into the world, who knows what's around the next corner. Just keep moving forward, find that next stepping stone and don't give up on yourself. You never know what opportunities and excitement are waiting for you! BEFORE & AFTER YOU & ME is available for preorder now – just search Dallas Woodburn on Barnes and Noble or Amazon!!! Publication date is officially May 7th! And I'd love you to join us in the Thriving Authors Book Club, a virtual monthly book club where you not only get to read incredible new books filled with heart and wisdom, you also get to have a Q&A with the author and peek behind-the-scenes into their author journey!

Now, Tegan finds herself alone and confused about how she got to the Big Island. With no wallet, no cell phone, purse, or plane ticket, Tegan struggles to piece together what happened. She must have come to surprise-visit Kai. Right? As the teens grow even closer, Tegan pushes aside her worries and gets swept away in the vacation of her dreams. But each morning, Tegan startles awake from nightmares that become more difficult to ignore. Something is eerily amiss. Why is there a strange gap in her memory? Why can’t she reach her parents or friends from home? And what’s with the mysterious hourglass tattoo over her heart? Kai promises to help Tegan figure out what is going on. But the answers they find only lead to more questions.

Are you signed up for my newsletter? I've got some good stuff coming up and I don't want you to miss it! Sign up at www.kellycovert.com/newsletter.   Here are some of the big topics we talked about: If you’re starting to write a book, it’s a weighty question of where to begin Don’t try to think of the project as a whole or get ahead of yourself, just think about one story or message you want to share and write a page Dallas’s dad being a writer made her very aware of the link between writing and book being made While communicating in words was at first exciting, it’s now buried deep inside of us The idea of remembering the magic of expressing anything through words and changing lives of people we’ve never met is an idea that can center you when you begin a new project or sit down to write You can tap into that child-like place with practices like a photo reminder, going with the flow, letting go of expectations, making your favorite tea, lighting a candle, creating different playlists for each project you’re working on, etc Rituals like these can help train your brain to get into special writing time, especially if you turn off your phone, shut down your email if writing on the computer and clear away any other distractions Treat writing as a special time that you have with yourself; it’s nourishing! As you’re writing, think about your ideal reader or even a particular person to write to and create a manifesto for yourself How will what you’re writing help the audience you’re writing for? Use the connection that your words will have with your reader as motivation to keep writing. Remember to ask yourself, “what do I really want to say to my ideal reader?” Not feeling motivated is a normal part of the process, especially when your initial enthusiasm has worn off a little but you are far from the end goal The “muddy middle” as Dallas calls it, is a common place for people to quit writing By adding the phrase, “and that’s okay” to any inner voice, it takes the power away from the criticism When asked what is the hardest thing about being a writer, Dallas replied that her response has shifted from external struggles such as getting published to the internal battles with self doubt, fear, and critical voices These practices are relevant and useful even if you’re not writing a book - it’s a reminder to surround yourself people who listen and support you As a coach she is a cheerleader and book doula - a container of support Her inner voice is calling her to trust and listen to what her inner voice has to say In Dallas’s Voice “Someone else who you’ve never met and will never meet can read the words that you write and it can change their perspective or their life.” “Every time I start a new project I feel afraid that maybe I won’t be able to find or its scary to me because it’s something new. Every book has felt different to me because it’s a different journey, it’s pushed me to grow” “Writing your book is going to change you. You can’t hire that out. Self exploration and know yourself in the way if you write your book out.” “It’s amazing how much wisdom we have inside ourselves that we don’t even know.” Connect with Dallas Website Free Master Class Instagram Facebook Twitter
