In this episode, I explore whether family and friends will support your writing dreams. I stress the importance of showing your work rather than just talking about it. Believing in yourself is key—you’re your own biggest fan. I also discuss how loved ones might not always be supportive and suggest building a network of fellow writers. The episode wraps up with a challenge: write a letter to a skeptical loved one explaining why writing matters to you and why their support is important.
