The Writing Myth: Worthy Ideas Are Special & Unique

Episode eight, exploring the sentiment that worthy ideas are special & unique, may just be my favourite one yet!

What do each of these words mean? How can we define them clearly? Subjectivity definitely comes into play here.

Through this episode, allow me to share how I feel about this writing myth of what makes an idea worthy. It’s time to get vulnerable, and dive deep into what it means to be human, confident, safe to be yourself, and express all of that in writing.

This validation does not need to come from anywhere but your own heart. Do you agree with what I have to say? Take a listen!

Never forget that YOU ARE WORTHY!

EP7 Writing Strength From Within

EP7 Writing Strength From Within

Writing Strength From Within was a powerful experience. Even though it wasn’t the first one I ever tried to write, it was the first one that really showed me what I was capable of.

Join this journey as I explore what the experience was like to create this book and everything I learned. I also talk about my college experience and what I enjoyed about the classes I took, and what could have been improved upon.

Comparing where I am today to where I was, I know how I’ve matured as a writer. There are many choices I wish I’d made differently, but I wouldn’t change a thing now. My journey happened just how it was meant to, and gave me the knowledge and expertise I needed to move forward in the future.

EP6 What is a Debut Novel?

EP6 What is a Debut Novel?

Though the title of this is “what is a debut novel?”, the inspiration comes from a writing myth that a debut novel is a writer’s first novel. I may have already busted this myth before, but now it’s time to take a deep dive into what the definition of a debut novel truly is.

Along the way, I’ll explore choices I’ve made as a self-published author and how you can use my knowledge to learn going forward. Then, I discuss the difference between what is best-selling and what is best written. There is a key distinction here that all authors should remember!

Follow me as I explore the pitfalls writers face portrayed my social media, television shows, and celebrities who can’t wait to write their biographies.

Podcast Introduction: About Kirsten McNeill

Podcast Introduction: About Kirsten McNeill

Welcome to The Worthy Writers Podcast with Kirsten McNeill!

I've wanted to start a podcast for a long time, but I wasn't sure if I had the time or the topics to discuss. What I learned is that you don't have to be perfect at public speaking, audio editing, or even an expert on your subject to start a podcast. You just have to be willing to try!

With anything, you learn along the way.

My brand, Worthy Writers, represents encouraging authors and all types of creatives to live their dreams. In this trailer episode, you'll learn more about me, my goals to offer encouragement, and how I will share my writing journey.

There is so much content out there about how to perfect your writing craft, how to edit, what to do when you're ready to publish, but how much do we have about the mentality of it all? The Imposter Syndrome, the self-doubt, the comparison we all fall prey to.

Worthy Writers is about finding confidence in your work and navigating your journey the best way you see fit. I welcome you on my podcasting journey and hope you find value in my words as I share my wisdom and experiences.

Never forget that YOU ARE WORTHY!
