The Successful Author Mindset
A Handbook for Surviving the Writer's Journey

Publisher Description
Being a writer is not just about typing.
It’s also about surviving the rollercoaster of the creative journey.
Self-doubt, fear of failure, the need for validation, perfectionism, writer’s block, comparisonitis, overwhelm, and much more. When you’re going through these things, it can feel like you’re alone. But actually, they are part of the creative process, and every author goes through them too.
This book collects the mindset issues that writers experience, that I have been through myself over the last nine years, and that perhaps you will experience at different times on the creative journey. Each small chapter tackles a possible issue and then offers an antidote, so that you can dip in and out over time. It includes excerpts from my own personal journals as well as quotes from well-known writers. I hope it helps you on the road to becoming a successful author.

Must read for aspiring authors.
I highly recommend this for anyone who is thinking or in the process of becoming a published author.
As an aspiring author knowing that success has come to others before me is a great relief, and that it can happen for me too. Joanna Penn's 'The creative author mindset' is a much needed insight to the world of writing and being a full time author. It has opened my eyes to situations I am facing - knowing that I am not alone - and situations I am yet to face - helping to brace myself to the exciting life of being a published author.
Great job Joanna!!!
