About this episode

Coach Debby discusses strategies for neurodivergent individuals to succeed in writing.

Many people fear that a learning diagnosis or label will keep them from their dreams at becoming an author. It's very popular, it seems, to be among the many who are verifiably neurodivergent. Somewhere in time, it became important to you or a system to label you. Did that help? For many of my students, it has caused stagnation and depression. For others, it's helped them feel as though a mystery was solved.  Yet when it comes to your writing, you can and will succeed the more you get to know your brain. As a writing instructor, I help people understand: You'll exhaust yourself trying to change your brain. I suggest you get to know it. Make friends with your brain. Today I'll help you with new approaches and strategies.  During today's show, I referred to an interview with author and coach, Michael Neill, and how I'm loving the "writing buddy" system offered in his class, titled, "So You want to Write a Book?" He and I had a conversation recently at Story U - check out the show link below. He's both insightful and delightful.  https://1150kknw.com/episode/a-writers-community-with-best-selling-author-michael-neill/ Write to…
