A Book is Afoot
Since 2018 I’ve felt called to write a non-fiction self-help book about work and career. In mid-2024 I decided to just get started. Like a toddler, I’ve been taking wobbly but determined steps since.
The topic: how to overcome anxiety as a creative entrepreneur. In this book I will explore the uncertainty, doubt, and fear that many creative small business owners face. As an artist and someone who personally manages generalized anxiety disorder, I will speak to makers of all kinds about the emotional and physiological reactions that inhibit their artistic expression. The book will include:
Easy-to-understand explanations about how anxiety affects our bodies and minds
Healthy ways to view stress and uncertainty
Advice and stories from other creative entrepreneurs
By providing a positive perspective, uplifting encouragement, and practical methods for managing anxiety while running a creativity-based business, artistic entrepreneurs will turn their negative energy into fuel, propelling their lives forward and revealing the joy in every moment of their career journeys.
Full disclosure: This is my first book. Do I even know how to embark upon this endeavor? Nope. Am I intimidated, overwhelmed, and scared? Yep. But as long as the doors keep opening, I’m going to keep toddling along.
If you’d like to join me on my journey, share your thoughts, and receive book updates, send me a message with “Future Reader” in the subject line. I look forward to hearing from you!
I was asked to speak about the book on one of my favorite podcasts, Gifted Underachievers.
