Happy Pride month! Even though TB had forgotten. This week, the intrepid pair are getting themselves geared up for the launch of their co-write, which is due to land on June 16th. Whoop & then whoop again! TB’s also been writing new words, the first time in two months. Meanwhile, Clare has been running, doing DIY dentistry (not advised), failing at sourdough, and plotting the story for the seventh book in her London Romance series. A week in the life of a romance writer!
Onto the question at hand: what have they learned from writing that they’ve taken into their real lives? For TB, writing lesbian fiction has made her more out in her real life, plus it’s given her the confidence to ignore the negativity and believe in herself. She’s also learned how to manage conflict via her characters. Big stuff! Similarly, after six years in the business, Clare has realized she can tackle any problem and find a solution. She’s also realized she’s driven and a finisher, two things she would never have claimed in her younger years. Go writing!
Let us know what you’ve learned from writing or your job that has helped you grow. Head over to www.lesbianswhowrite.com, and leave a comment on the episode. Or you can email us at: lesbianswhowrite@gmail.com. Stop back next week for more chipper writing chat.
Happy listening!

In answer to Clare’s question, I never liked my name until that film, so yeah I think it is cool that my name is the same 😀
Another fantastic episode and great hearing about your experiences and all you have learned. Both of you are so inspiring!
Looking forward to next week’s ‘surprise topic’ episode.
Fab episode again – thanks! Extra thanks to TB for the Pelican crossing trivia.
Fantastic episode once again!
Also, I’m with TB – I’ve never Zoomed, and neither have my friends. We’re fine messaging through texts or other messaging apps, as we’re all a bunch of antisocial nerds.
To Clare – I have a movie with the exact spelling of my name – and it’s that movie where Saorsie Ronan is killing people, and the antagonist is a redheaded Cate Blanchett in skirt suits. What’s not to love?
