WTB: Playing Big, Writing Scared, and Wrestling with the Work

It's all one step forward two steps back... wait that can't be right.

This isn’t just an episode about two writers navigating their books—it’s about what happens when you really dare to make the book you want to write.

In this candid, funny, and sometimes raw conversation, KJ and Jennie dive into:

  • Why “playing big” has nothing to do with flashy results

  • What it means when your writing starts to sound like someone else’s voice (hello, overwriting)

  • Whether a book about an unexpected tragedy might actually be about fear, control, and small-town survival

  • And how we keep going when the work gets messy, philosophical, and scarily personal

Listen in if you're stuck, doubting, or circling the heart of your own story. This one might just help you name what your book is really about—and why you’re the person to write it.

There’s also a transcript. And—in that club—there are also AMAs, Jess’s mesh-your-book-proposal-with-your-speaking-career coaching and—you heard it here first—do the Summer Blueprint with just KJ, with Lives and in-person Zooms and write-alongs.
