S1 Ep8: SHARING – cultivating the courage to share your words

The Fearless Writer Podcast with Beth Kempton

In today’s episode we explore how to cultivate the courage to share your words with other people. This episode includes:

- Reasons for sharing (and not sharing) your work with others

- Reasons why rejection can be a good thing

- How to keep going when it’s hard

In each episode, I will talk for about fifteen to twenty minutes, and then offer you a timed writing exercise at the end to try, for another ten minutes. Grab yourself a cuppa and settle in for a lovely writerly chat. With inspiration from Beth Kephart and Pablo Neruda.

I hope this podcast will help you write fearlessly, and with joy, and build a writing practice that nourishes you for the rest of your life. I’d love to see what writing it inspires – feel free to share by tagging me @bethkempton #fearlesswriterpodcast
