WCP176 Bombing vs brilliant

Showing up to do your work regardless of your mood is distinct from ignoring your emotions and telling yourself things are ok when you don’t think they are.  Today I share with you one of my client’s stories about how she was trying to push away the feelings that emerged when she told herself she’s bombed a pitch, and how she reframed to open up to new possibilities for ongoing editorial relationships. Listen for one powerful question you can ask yourself to experience your writing life with more compassion and satisfaction. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE WCP 139 Topsy turvy WCP 84: Excitement!
