Welcome to the very first episode of the Mindset to Finish Your Book.

In this episode, I take you through step one of a four-step process that will help you finish your book (and fix everything that’s wrong with it).

I’ll teach you about the origins of the 5 to 1 praise to criticism ratio in all healthy relationships and what that has to do with your relationship with your book. Plus I’ll share the questions I ask clients that make the creative process most fun, interesting, and generative.

We talk about:

• [1:50] Reframing your writing process
• [4:35] How is it normal to crave companionship during the creative process
• [7:25] Reframing criticism as neutral feedback
• [9:20] Why you should not outsource your belief in your book
• [10:05] Strategies for reminding yourself what you love about your book
• [12:30] Developing a relationship with your book
