A few weeks ago, I shared my thoughts on Seth Godin's Akimbo Podcast episode, "Publish Yourself." (2019). I used writing and publishing a book as a metaphor for anything you want to do in life – anything as simple as painting your living room to starting a business. 

But what if the thing you want to do is actually, really truly, writing and publishing a book? As a student studying creative writing, writing a book and having it published has been on my dream list since my high school days. I hear you, aspiring writers! 

If you're looking for more information about writing and publishing a book, as well as how to overcome some of the obstacles you may run into in the process, check out Seth Godin's follow-up episode: "Publish Yourself QA." Take the leap, my friend!
