🎧 Episode 4: You Want a Bigger Creative Life? Start Small
It's not about being everywhere, it's about being somewhere.
Welcome back to Pep Talks for Writers—a 5-part audio series for writers who want to build a life around writing… not just wait for a single big break.
In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to grow your creative life.
Whether you’re unpublished and waiting for your moment, or already published and wondering, 'Was that it?'—this one’s for you.
We’ll explore:
• Why 'publish → disappear → repeat' is a recipe for burnout
• The very normal (but rarely voiced) desire to feel seen, even before you’re published
• How small, repeatable creative actions help readers find you
• And why building a profile doesn’t have to be cringe—it can be fun, honest, and deeply yours
