So many people I know have a book inside them that they want to get out. I know it’s been true for me for so many years! And yet, getting that book done can be so intimidating! In today’s episode, Kathryn and I discuss what it takes to write and publish a book, and how she helps authors do just that. Kathryn talks about:

• The playfulness and creativity of writing.
• Shifting between a top-down and a bottom-up approach to writing.
• Writing in 30-minute chunks versus several-hour blocks
• Her 3-step process for writing: Sit – Write – Share
