The duo is on a break, but they didn’t want to leave you in a lurch, so they’re replaying one of their most popular episodes.
TB’s hair can be a force of its own, making it difficult for Clare to concentrate. And, Clare threw TB off her game by discussing nipples. If you didn’t catch this episode the first time, don’t miss the nipple muff convo. Solid gold.
It’s good to revisit this episode on self-doubt because it’s something all humans, especially creatives, have to battle every single day. The first step is to recognize how it manifests and how difficult it is to overcome imposter syndrome. It can rear its ugly head in so many forms, and you might not even be aware of certain tendencies you have that sabotage your writing. Sometimes all it takes is to redefine the scary aspect to something exciting, like not thinking of it as a revision but as a reimagining. Whatever tricks you need to do to overcome self-doubt, the key thing is to keep going.
How have you handled self-doubt?
Head over to www.lesbianswhowrite.com, and leave a comment on the episode. Or you can email them at: lesbianswhowrite@gmail.com.
Next week, they’ll be rerunning another episode while Clare is away on holiday and TB has a writing deadline.
When they return, they’ll be doing an ask them anything episode, so send in your questions.
Thanks so much for listening!
Clare and TB
