In this episode of The Collective Cast, host Chris Damron talks with first-time novelist Inger E. Johnson about the part of authorship no one romanticizes: the struggle to write the book, edit it, and get it published.
Johnson is the author of Veiled Halos and host of Your Book Is In There. She speaks as a new author who had to learn the work in real time—sitting down when the pages would not come, cutting what did not serve the story, surviving the edit, and carrying a manuscript through the last mile to publication.
Success, here, is the accomplishment of completion. Not the plot. The process. What it takes for a first-time writer to finish.
Veiled Halos is available on Amazon. Learn more about Inger E. Johnson at yourbookisinthere.com.
