If you are one of those people who thinks you might have a book in you…or maybe have even written one…well, what happens next? How do you get it published? Rea Frey is a multi-published, award-winning bestselling author, and founder of Writeway, a process and podcast to help other writers get published, at writewayco.com.

Everyone at The Real Story is super excited about this week's guest, Writeway's very own creative director, and Rea's husband, Alex Holguin! Today, they're talking not only about an underlying message of pursuing passion, but also the incredible merits of breathwork.

You are not going to want to miss this episode of The Real Story podcast! Rea sits down to take listeners through the very methodology she uses with Writeway clients to lay down all the important next steps for writers pursuing authorhood.

If you're burning yourself out from constant & punishing work, this episode is for you. Bestselling author Rea Frey is here to teach you a lesson about your value. Girlfriend, you have nothing to prove. Rea's written 9 books and co-authored/ghost-written another 50 books. Her company Writeway has also shepherded another 100 books to publishing in the last 2 years. She's been SOOO busy. But she's standing on her soap box teaching the lesson she's had to recently learn: she doesn't have to do anything to prove anything to anybody. No one determines her value. Just her. In this episode, Rea hammers the importance of getting out of your head and into your body, and how to down-regulate your system with one simple decision. Plus(!!!), she introduces us to primal screaming: the way she handles her sacred feminine rage. Did you know this was a thing?!?

A super-special podcast episode is in store for you as everyone from Writeway and The Real Story takes a moment to recognize June as National Cancer Survivor Month in honor of the nearly 17 million cancer survivors in the U.S.To cap it off, Joe sits down with his wife, communications and marketing specialist and cancer survivor, Anna Tower-Kövesdi, as the couple observes six months since she was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). With both candor, and surprising levity, they discuss the seemingly insurmountable challenge of facing “The Big ‘C',” from the shock and horror of the diagnosis, to the logistical stress of putting yourself in the best position to get the right care. In the end, as Anna notes, much of the coping is about the rigorous practice of acceptance and "pause." There are numerous ways you can help bring about progress in the treatment and cure of many types of cancer. Consider donating to a fundraising or educational organization such as The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, or local cancer not-for-profits. For more information about Joe and Anna, or to help as they continue their battle, you can follow Anna's journey on Instagram @koevia, and/or visit their GoFundMe drive at Support Anna and Joe Tower with Medical Expenses. If you or someone you love has been touched or affected by cancer in some way, please don't hesitate to reach out with your experience by email at podcast@writewayco.com to share it with us.

A big congratulations to Writeway and The Real Story this week as a brand-new episode of the podcast officially drops for the 100th time! This week, Rea and Joe reflect back on one-hundred episodes of the podcast, and its challenging and illuminating beginnings. Simultaneously, they reflect on the beginnings of the business—which the podcast predicated—and how the evolution of those two occupations was shaped by their evolutions as individuals.It is both a look forward and a look back as the two explore the importance of allowing change to happen, but also the importance of maintaining the guiding principles that allow you to live and work most authentically.Do you have any favorite moments from the last 100 episodes of the show?

Rea shakes things up on another solo episode of The Real Story this week with an exploratory examination of what's ahead, tackling her own journey into and out of—and back into—the very intense hustle of mainstream publishing and the radical decision to once again bet on herself. After last week's episode discussing the #PathToPublishing with best-selling author, Megan Collins, Rea sheds all pretense, revisits the roots of her early passion for selling a manuscript and launching a book, and how, over the course of her career as an author, diminishing returns gradually started to form a much bleaker narrative. Now, with another prospective book deal on the horizon, Rea is leveraging everything to put herself first, and challenging listeners to do the same.On a final relevant note: Writeway will no longer accept new client submissions for the foreseeable future, effective immediately. All inquiries can be directed to the website, www.writewayco.com, but will be put to a waiting list. Writeway wishes to thank its full battery of current and past clients for two incredible years of wonderful work.If you have questions about your own #PathToPublish, and for any other insights and inquiries, email podcast@writewayco.com and share your thoughts with us. Also, don't forget to subscribe, rate, review, and comment on The Real Story wherever you download your podcasts!

On this week's episode of The Real Story, the topic is: “Why?” Rea and Joe ask the question—of fellow writers, the community, listeners, and each other—why … why do we submit, why do we publish, and most importantly, why do we write?The answers don't come easy, and as the conversation examines both intent and purpose, it targets both aspiring writers beginning their journey and seasoned authors continually feeling the pressure to follow up each book with a new and “better” book—or in the case of most mainstream publishing in this day and age, industry veterans for whom the craft of writing, oftentimes, is nothing more than manufacturing a product.Whether you're currently working on the manuscript that will become your first formal submission, or trying to work your way through the latest in a long series of drafts, we at Writeway would love to know: what's your “why” and is it still enough to keep you working?

WARNING: episode contains LOTS OF F**KS and GIVES NO F**CKS.This week on The Real Story, Rea is elated to welcome Gianna Biscontini, a long-time client of Writeway, a board-certified behavioral analyst, an entrepreneur, and the author of the brand new book, F**kless: A Guide to Wild, Unencumbered Freedom, a definitive book to help women release and reprioritize the f**ks they've been given. What transpires over the course of this hour-long episode is a candid and forthright conversation about how, why, and where we tend to give away all of our energy and our power…and, most importantly, how we can gain it back on our own terms. Gia's work as a scientist, wellbeing expert and coach, coupled with an overall independence, confidence, and attitude has helped position her perfectly to tackle this angle of the subject of empowerment head on. You can learn more about her at her website, where you can also purchase the book.While this is definitely an episode for writers, as the discussion of #PathToPublish makes a formidable stamp, it's also really for anyone and everyone (but ladies, we're looking at you) who needs to learn how to let go. Is that you? If so, email podcast@writewayco.com and share your thoughts with us. Also, don't forget to subscribe, rate, review, and comment!

On this episode, I talk to Rob Hart about his action packed, contemplative sci-fi thriller The Paradox Hotel.You can also watch the episode on YouTubeAuthor LinksInstagramGoodreadsWebsiteCheck out her company WriteWay at her website as well!Check out the book hereThe Paradox Hotel SynopsisJanuary Cole's job just got a whole lot harder.Not that running security at the Paradox was ever really easy. Nothing's simple at a hotel where the ultra-wealthy tourists arrive costumed for a dozen different time periods, all eagerly waiting to catch their “flights” to the past.Or where proximity to the timeport makes the clocks run backward on occasion—and, rumor has it, allows ghosts to stroll the halls.None of that compares to the corpse in room 526. The one that seems to be both there and not there. The one that somehow only January can see.On top of that, some very important new guests have just checked in. Because the U.S. government is about to privatize time-travel technology—and the world's most powerful people are on hand to stake their claims.January is sure the timing isn't a coincidence. Neither are those “accidents” that start stalking their bidders.There's a reason January can glimpse what others can't. A reason why she's the only one who can catch a killer who's operating invisibly and in plain sight, all at once.But her ability is also destroying her grip on reality—and as her past, present, and future collide, she finds herself confronting not just the hotel's dark secrets but her own.At once a dazzlingly time-twisting murder mystery and a story about grief, memory, and what it means to—literally—come face-to-face with our ghosts, The Paradox Hotel is another unforgettable speculative thrill ride from acclaimed author Rob Hart.

On this episode, I talk to Rea Frey about her thought provoking domestic drama Secrets of Our House.You can also watch the episode on YouTubeAuthor LinksInstagramGoodreadsWebsiteCheck out her company WriteWay at her website as well!Check out the book hereSecrets of Our House SynopsisDesi is the mastermind behind her dream getaway house. Nestled high into the mountains of North Carolina, it is a sleek place, a luxurious place, a dark place.A place full of secrets.Secrets about the man she longs for, a man who is not her husband. Secrets about the roots of her family that must never, ever, see the light of day. When Desi and her family arrive from Chicago to spend the summer in the mountains, the seeds for the tumultuous months to follow are planted—her marriage on the rocks, not knowing which way they'll go. Her seventeen year-old daughter Jules, falling in love for the first time with a local boy—and forging a new path that will take her to uncharted places. And Carter—a man Desi knew long ago, before she expunged him from her life for good.All hurtling toward events none of them can undo.Engaging, propulsive, and with a dramatic, heart-pounding final act, Secrets of Our House is a dazzling novel, richly-drawn, that shows no matter how hard outside forces may shake you, the bonds of family are stronger than the harshest winds.

This week on The Real Story, Rea reflects on a powerful Owaken meditation she recently participated in called “Take a Walk With Your Inner Child,” which led to some deeply healing work regarding her childhood. On this episode, she shares some incredibly personal details of past experiences—both good and bad—that have shaped who she is and how she operates.While many of us power through our days, working, creating, and living in a conditioned state of doing (not being), we don't often realize how much built up “gunk” is stored in our bodies—gunk that can be relieved by revisiting that inner child and seeing what it is he/she/they need.From this one simple 20-minute meditation, Rea was able to facilitate some crucial healing that she wasn't even aware she needed. For any listeners eager to engage in a new meditation (or breathwork) practice, Writeway recommends Owaken, where breath meets movement, meditation, and mantras. When was the last time you checked in on your inner child? If you have a story please email us directly at podcast@writewayco.com!

It's a very special episode of The Real Story today! For those of you tuning in to the podcast for insight into creative work or optimum living, when Rea sits down with author, improviser—and overall human firework—Judi Holler. The creator and CEO of bespoke methodology and podcast, Yes, And, this conversation with Judi is not only about the importance of creative space for joy and excitement in our lives, but also about her #authorjourney with a hybrid publisher for her book, “Fear Is My Homeboy,” which has sold over 100,000 copies.Inspiring, motivating, and supportive, it's a Writeway promise that you won't be able to get enough of this incredible and uplifting conversation.

When was the last time that you thought about life before your smartphone? Most people don't, and that's in part because smartphones—and technology like them—keep us distracted enough where we don't have the bandwidth to think.In this fresh episode of The Real Story, recorded just prior to the launch of her latest book, Secrets of Our House, Rea takes to the mic solo to discuss everything she took away from a weekend-long tech detox that prompted her to “live her real life.”Writeway, even as a company, has long been on the digital minimalist bandwagon, and so the points of view expressed in this episode help bring together many previous conversations from prior episodes of the podcast that either touched on, or dug deeply, into the tech and social media conundrums in modern society: both the allure and the addiction, and the invisible contracts we make with them that keep us “plugged in.”When is the last time you truly unplugged? Email us at podcast@writewayco.com, or visit our refreshed website at writewayco.com.

On the latest podcast episode from Writeway's The Real Story, we dive deep into the very tangible, but sometimes elusive, world of independent publishing. Joining Rea in the aftermath of launch week for her new book, Secrets of Our House, are prolific bestselling authors, as well as co-hosts of the literary insider podcast, Behind the Book, Karen McQuestion and Tess Thompson. The combined experience and success of Karen and Tess provide a poignant and clarifying look at a dynamic of the publishing industry that is continually misperceived.

One of the biggest misnomers in publishing is that there are overnight successes. Being a writer requires hard work, creativity, and persistence. All authors, including new and experienced, will face setbacks and many challenges. Rea Frey was a former boxer who became an Author, and she joined me recently to share the story about how she became a successful author. How did she go from flop to a multiple book deal with St. Martin Press? How did she pivot from writing nonfiction to being a bestselling fiction writer? Why was it not a good idea to get married at 22? Listen in to uncover the answers to these questions as well as her take on what aspiring authors need to know in order to be successful.

Why is she driven to the domestic suspense genre? What would her career be if she weren't a writer? What is the concept of the book "Secrets of our house"? How does Rea help support other offers? What kind of chord did her podcast episode, “Dear, Publishing Industry, F*ck You!” strike with fellow authors? The Hot Seat Questions for Rea: How do you feel when you are staring at a blank piece of paper or blank computer screen? What lesson about writing or publishing did you learn the hard way? What's the best piece of advice you would give to an aspiring author? How do you celebrate your success? If somebody you loved was having a bad day, what book would you choose to cheer them up? What will you be most proud of in your final moments? What words of advice would you give your younger self?     KEY TAKEAWAYS Success never comes overnight. Rhea Frey first book was not considered a success but she pivoted genres and began to approach publishing differently. The good side of failure. When the first book she published failed, it wasn't just a case of giving up for her. The failure gave way to an opportunity that would allow room for growth and success. Inspirational Journey. Writing is a journey. Rea's story is an inspiration tale aspiring authors and is a blueprint for helping set themselves up for success. Powerful Voice. When she released a solo episode of her podcast called "Dear Publishing Industry, Fuck You!" it became an advocate for other writers who are experiencing difficulties in the publishing industry. Memorable Quotes/Advice From Rea “Understand the business that you're about to get into. I know a lot of people say write the best story you can, and that's great. That's the fun part. But all the stuff that comes after that are the pieces and parts that components that will separate you from just writing a good story to being a successful author.”

Well listeners, it's official! This episode is the first official appearance of the Writeway Podcast as its new expansive experiment, The Real Story. This week, Rea is joined by artist, designer, and Writeway's creative director, Alex Holguin—a man who, most importantly, is also her husband.The two take the opportunity to sit down to discuss the ways their household and family dynamics have already shifted in 2022, and how they intend to continue to explore and expand their lives by breaking through social norms “set” for a typical American family. Instead, they are writing their own sacred contracts around what it means to be married, to be creatives, to be parents, partners, and friends. In some other exciting news, Rea's forthcoming release, Secrets of Our House, is launching next week, February 8. If you'd like to get your hands on a *signed* copy, you can order your personalized copy from the following wonderful establishments: SNAIL ON THE WALL or PARNASSUS BOOKS. And that's not all.

It's available wherever you get your ebooks online—like right HERE.

The latest episode of the Writeway Podcast is perhaps not even an episode of the Writeway Podcast at all. As Joe rejoins Rea at the mic after a month off while his wife, Anna, began chemotherapy for a leukemia diagnosis, the podcast itself takes a sharp turn into new and exciting territory—welcome to The Real Story.In an effort to catch listeners up on big changes in their lives and professions, the hosts have started to unpack a dense and multifaceted discussion sphere they've frequently circled around, regarding purpose, acceptance, and mindset.At the culmination, they've come to the conclusion that the only way forward is to expand, and so The Writeway Podcast will officially be rebranded as Writeway Presents: The Real Story, allowing them to use this platform to persist in the mission of inspiring writers, while also providing an opportunity to cover all new ground.For your chance to weigh in on the conversation, and the change in brand, email us at podcast@writewayco.com and share your opinion.

This week's episode of the Writeway Podcast puts Rea and Joe on the mic together again to chat about one of the most discussed topics humans have: purpose.Since Joe's wife, Anna's, recent cancer diagnosis, the purpose of Writeway has forced a requisite evolution, and now, the previously recorded episode regarding one of the most important questions we as humans need to ask ourselves—especially as creators—gives it a very real, high-stakes context.In working with aspiring writers, one of the foundational methods that Writeway has always touted is encouraging clients to work to discover their “Big Why,” the motivational energy behind everything they choose and seek to accomplish. Many times, this is the most difficult part of the process, and many times, we cast it aside.But this episode, and the company's new context, outlines exactly why we can't cast our “Big Why” aside.

Unearthed from the 2021 Holiday Season, this week's episode of the Writeway Podcast puts Rea and Joe back on the mic together to discuss the very important, and surprisingly taboo topic, of quitting. Given the very real circumstances everyone at Writeway is undergoing since Joe's wife, Anna's, recent cancer diagnosis, the previously recorded episode takes “quitting” into a whole new dimension.It's easy to revere the “staying” power in our society—staying with one job, one partner, one house, or one belief system—but what happens when you analyze your life and simply ask: “What can I quit?”On today's brutally honest episode, Joe and Rea discuss all the ways quitting has benefitted their lives, created change, and led to some of the most important self-discoveries about life, work, and love. Email us at podcast@writewayco.com and let us know: what could you quit to make your life better… and what's been holding you back?

Are you thinking about publishing a book? The publishing industry can be confusing for authors who are trying to understand how it works and what they need to do in order to get their book published. It is important to keep in mind that the publishing landscape is constantly changing, so it is important to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and developments.  This includes understanding the different types of publishers, how the submission process works, and what you can expect once your book is published. By knowing what to expect, you can make informed decisions about your publishing options and achieve the best possible outcome for your book.  I'm so excited to share today's guest, Rea Frey, CEO of Writeway, who will be sharing all about the publishing industry, tips for getting started when writing a book and some key things authors should keep in mind.  Main Topics: - What goes into a successful book proposal- What to know about the publishing industry before becoming a writer- Tips for getting started writing a book Key Takeaways: - Learning the ins and outs of the publishing world- Why a book proposal is important- Confidence is essential to enter into the publishing world as an author    More About Our Guest: Rea is the CEO of Writeway and the multi-published, award-winning bestselling author of three suspense novels and four nonfiction books. What started out as a simple writing coach side hustle based on referrals quickly scaled to a multiple six-figure business (Writeway) and landed 10 clients top literary agents and book deals in less than a year. Rea uses her 15 years in the publishing industry to simplify the information and offer in a straightforward way. Whether you want to write a book, sell a book, or promote a book, her company Writeway assists and guides in the process. Simply put, she is the expert of all things book writing and book publishing! Rea is also the co-host of The Writeway Podcast.

Welcome back to the Writeway Podcast for our first episode of the New Year—and an important one. It marks a distinct passage for us into new and uncharted territory, which our host, and Founder and CEO, Rea, recounts in detail as she sets intentions for herself and the company going forward, while also using it as an opportunity to guide aspiring writers, stifled creatives, and struggling humans to setting intentions for themselves. For those of you who are regular listeners, you might have noticed that there were no released episodes the last two weeks. While Writeway did “close” for December, the reason for those absent weeks was because co-host and Executive Editor, Joe, and his wife Anna, are in the midst of her battle with an acute form of blood cancer. During the ensuing months, there will be a lot of modified content coming from Writeway as the company restructures itself to adapt to these new circumstances. We fully intend to continue to deliver regular podcast episodes, premium services, and other content we're excited to unveil this year.If you'd like to make contact with us—for any reason, whether you're a client or a #cancersurvivor—email us at podcast@writewayco.com. If you'd like to help us help our people, there is a fundraiser on behalf of Joe and Anna Tower HERE. Finally, from all of Writeway, we hope you had a safe and healthy holiday, and are looking toward a better and brighter 2022.

Rea and Joe are back to formula this week, cracking open a widely anticipated topic: WHAT TO DO TO GET AN AGENT. Writeway knows writers out there are eager for the what and the how, and Rea and Joe hit all the talking points. What to do, what not to do, what to expect, what not to expect, and how the heck do you write a query letter!?!?Coming off some past conversations detailing shortcomings in the publishing industry and writerly “boundaries,” this new episode is a must-listen addition to get you, as a writer, in the best frame of mind to approach the querying process. It's confusing, it's difficult, and it can take a really, really, REALLY long time. This week, we're giving out some proper pointers to keep you positive.For some context on everything discussed in this episode, revisit some of our past episodes, including Dos and Don'ts of Pitching Agents, How to Really Land a Six-Figure Book Deal, and Submissions, Rejections, and Expectations! Also, if you're in the midst of seeking out representation for your manuscript, and you have a story, anecdote, question, or comment, email podcast@writewayco.com. Writeway is here to help, so reach out!

This week on the Writeway Podcast, Rea and Joe are talking about something that's important for everyone: they're talking BOUNDARIES—for you, for them, for us, for writers, parents, kids, bosses, teachers, coaches, or entrepreneurs. Boundaries are important for anyone who has a relationship with someone or something else.While the topic of boundaries, itself, is both too broad and too deep to tackle it all in a single episode, the co-hosts turn their attention during this round to the boundaries in a relationship critical to their business: the vendor-client relationship. In an age where instant gratification and being “plugged in” amounts to societal norms, boundaries become more vital than ever.Being aware of your boundaries makes clear your status and purpose in any given relationship, so Writeway wants to know how exactly you establish, enact, and enforce your own, and what, when you come up against a relationship that's testing those boundaries, you learn about yourself.

Check us out on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/crimecafe Debbi (00:54): But first, let me put in a good word for Blubrry podcasting. I'm a Blubrry affiliate, but that's not the only reason I'm telling you this. I've been using Blubrry Podcasting as my hosting service for my podcast for years and it's one of the best decisions I ever made. They give great customer service, you're in complete control of your own podcast, you can run it from your own website, and it just takes a lot of the work out of podcasting for me. I find for that reason that it's a company that I can get behind 100% and say, “You should try this.” Try Blubrry. It doesn't require a long-term contract, and it's just a great company, period. It also has free technical support by email, video, and phone, so you can get a human being there. Isn't that nice? If you want to podcast, try out Blubrry. No long-term contract, excellent distribution, and great technical support, too, by email, video, and on the phone. I've included an affiliate link on this blog. Here's a link to a PDF copy of the interview. Debbi: Hi, everyone. My guest today is the author of several novels, as well as the CEO and founder of Writeway, where basically you get to learn about the publishing industry before you get into this crazy business. Let's see. She lives in Nashville with her husband, daughter, and three wild animals. We'll have to talk about the wild animals too. I'm pleased introduce my guest, Rea Frey. Hi, Rea. Rea: Hello. Debbi: It's so good to have you here. Rea: It's so nice to be here. Thanks for having me. Debbi: Sure thing. I got to say, I love your website so much. It's so clever and pretty. And I like the photo on the homepage with you holding those books that are dripping paint or something. Rea: Yeah. Debbi: I mean, it seems to be a metaphor of some kind. Rea: Yes, we could say it's a metaphor for so many different things, but yeah, it was a fun site to put together. Debbi: Yeah. Yeah. It's great. It's wonderful. I like it. And I like the idea of your show, your podcast, but we'll get into that in a second. Debbi: Tell us first about your books. How would you describe your writing? Is it domestic suspense, thriller? Rea: Yeah. It's domestic suspense, which, in all honesty, when my debut novel came out, Not Her Daughter, and they told me I was in the domestic suspense genre, I was like, "What is that? What is domestic suspense?" I wasn't aiming to write in a genre, but I always like to say I write things that basically scare the shit out of parents. I love to kind of take that worst case scenario, because I'm a parent, and really play out those fears, whether it's kidnapping, a guardian dies, someone disappears. I love playing with that and playing with morality a little bit. So I'm definitely more relationship-based instead of, you know, straight thrillers, but I technically do fall in that domestic suspense category. I wasn't aiming to write in a genre, but I always like to say I write things that basically scare the shit out of parents. I love to kind of take that worst case scenario, because I'm a parent, and really play out those fears, whether it's kidnapping, a guardian dies, someone disappears. I love playing with that and playing with morality a little bit. Debbi: Okay. Well, you know,

On this one-off, Joe takes to the Writeway mic solo, addressing some of his recent realizations of both turning points in life—both in general and in the aftermath of 2020—and the creative process. “Get rid of your ego” has been a long-standing tenet of the Writeway approach, but recently, in trying to detach himself from his own, Joe realized that the death of anything is no inevitability—the end of something is the beginning of something else.  In this fully self-observational, and semi-self-indulgent, episode, Joe establishes his pursuit of his own approval, adaptation, and acceptance. Writeway is here, always, to support writers on their path to publishing. We're also writers on our own path, so let's all stay in it together. Discussion is the only way we get through.Talk to us, and we'll talk back at podcast@writewayco.com.

It's a very special episode of the Writeway Podcast this week. Rea and Joe welcome Writeway friend and fellow writer, bestselling children's book author, and publisher, Marianne Richmond.  With over 70-plus books written, and six millions books sold (that's right, six million), Marianne takes the time during this open and honest interview to track an incredibly tumultuous, but no less rewarding, writerly journey from making hand-painted greeting cards to the gauntlet of traditional publishing. The most important lesson that both Marianne and this episode seek to impart is that no matter how embattled your path (or paths) forward—toward whatever may be the goal—the most important thing is to establish your “Big Why,” and never relent from it.  For more information about Marianne, and to buy any of her numerous delightful, uplifting, and hopeful books, visit mariannerichmond.com. Also, let us know what you do to hang onto your “Big Why.” Email us at podcast@writewayco.com, and let us know.

Coming off an incredibly bear-it-all episode, Rea returns to the Writeway Podcast mic for another solo episode to address a jarring moment of clarity brought on by a breaking point in her own life, causing her to assess everything: from her career, to money, to relationships, and her path to healing.  Getting clear on living from a place of alignment with her own wants and needs, Rea gives a “radically honest” assessment of her personal and professional life and uses it as fuel to push both her, and Writeway, into the new dynamic mission of “author advocacy.” It's another solo episode you won't want to miss, full of the raw, unfiltered hard truths that have become the staple tone and style of the Writeway Podcast.  Also, we encourage you to get in on the conversation: Are you living for yourself, or are you living for someone else's dream? Let us know at podcast@writewayco.com

In what has become a Writeway Podcast staple, Rea and Joe get RAW, REAL, and RADICALLY HONEST as they examine the connection between being “self-sufficient” and being “well” as writers, creators, and humans.Coming off a recent moment of clarity that involved “blowing up my life ... in a very intentional way,” Rea guides the discussion through the ways that we tend to prevent ourselves from doing what we want and enjoying it, and how the right mindset can help us unearth our true capability—from finishing our novel to scaling our business. A healthy combination of advice, discourse, and diatribe, this episode gets at the heart of Writeway's mission, “putting authors first,” and striving to be fully aware, or, as Rea calls it, “superconscious.” Get in on the conversation: What are some ways that you HAVE or COULD “disrupt your life”? We want to hear from you at podcast@writewayco.com

TRIGGER WARNING: it's time to get back to realness! Rea and Joe take an opportunity again on this week's episode of the Writeway Podcast to get really, really, really, REALLY, REALLY real about the relationship a writer has with their work and what that can mean when they pursue a #PathToPublication. The co-hosts touch on some of the following topics: Getting too close to the manuscript, and when it's time to take a break…What's expected of the writer in the writer/editor relationship.Stepping out of your comfort zone with a “beta reader.”If a writer wants to be published, a writer has to want to change. Drawing on combined decades of experience in writing and editing, this episode breaks down when and how a writer's lack of confidence, imperiled ego, and resistance to outside feedback can often set forth a very limited path.  For more information on the writer/editor relationship, we recommend you revisit EPISODE 21. Also, this episode got us wondering: who's the first person you let read your manuscript when it's done?

She joins Rea and Joe for an enlightening conversation about the recipe for her success as the prolific author of more than 20 books in multiple genres, and the craft, process, and mindset that gets her there. Jessica's simple but profound insight—one that includes routine, schedule, outlining, and the intriguing practice of “fast drafting”—is also the basis of her expansive and effective approach to teaching.

On this week's episode of the podcast, Rea and Joe sit down for a candid conversation about writing and its evil, lurking—and unfortunately, all too common—antagonist: self-doubt. While this won't bring the kind of direct, clear-cut, bullet-point solutions you might be used to on episodes of the Writeway Podcast, it is a reminder that, if you are suffering from self-doubt... Guess what? Every writer is too. Period. Everything about this episode demands the question: How do you keep writing when self-doubt starts to creep in?
