#69: Why Authors Need Solitude (and Where to Find It)

If you rest, take breaks, even take walks, and you still sit down to write feeling like there's nothing in the tank, this episode is for you.

This week on The Confident Fiction Author, in Why Authors Need Solitude (and Where to Find It), I'm sharing how solitude isn't about being alone.

In this episode, you'll discover:
•  How solitude differs from rest, downtime, and doing nothing
•  The solo train ride where nothing happened, and why that was exactly right
•  Where the quiet gaps in your day went, and how to take two of them back

By the end, you'll know where to find solitude in the life you already have, and why late September is the time to refill the well before Novel November and the holidays.

Listen to the episode or read the blog-style version on my Substack here.
