Episode 2: Writing that First Book: What Took You So Long?

You’ve wanted to write for a long time. You have an idea for a story or maybe a nonfiction book in your head, and it’s been there for a while. Why haven’t you acted on it? What’s holding you back? Should you just forget about it? Forget about being a writer? Are you ever too old to start writing?

These are serious questions, but my conversation with Shannon Groves is anything but serious! If Shannon brings a tenth of her hilarious, sparkling personality to that children’s book she intends to write, it will be w. But is wonderful. But why is she just talking about writing? Will she actually get down to this long-simmering project?

Shannon has something many writers of children’s books do not have: a home-grown illustrator. Her daughter is an artist and will illustrate the book that Shannon promises she’ll write. (She will come back on the podcast sometime in the future to give us an update on it.)

If you’ve been on the fence about starting your writing journey, this episode is a must-listen for you! Veteran writers will enjoy being reminded of their starts. You can find the Write Like a Badass podcast on all of the major podcast platforms. Subscribe, so you don’t miss a thing!
