Also contains adulting fails, the adventures of the TinySheeps, and a bundle of fantastic interviews with people far smarter than us. Find us at moxiebooks.co.uk.

Breaking Bread Mastermind

Project Dingle

Jul 12, 2019

Join Vicky and Joe in their garden for a spot of heavy breathing. Eh? Get your mind out of the gutter – in this week's episode, our Superheroes are joined by their TinySheep, who contribute by panting into the microphone and chewing the cables. You'll also hear clucking and flapping from our poultry guests. And, of course, we answer your questions. Three of them, to be precise. To find out how to cope with the fear of judgement, what writing a book can do if your services rely on your time, and whether it's worth trying to get traditionally published, listen in.

 

Key Takeaways:

[1:45] Vicky answers your questions as TinySheep distract her! 

[2:45] Should you write a book if you’re self-employed and don’t have a physical product? 

[4:10] What’s the point of writing a book when you have limited time? 

[7:20] Do you feel like you will be judged by your book when it’s published? 

[7:40] Joe just got bitten by a chicken. 

[9:35] People will judge you. Some people will love you, some people will hate you. So what? 

[14:50] You can’t please everybody. Not everyone is going to like you! It’s okay! 

[17:15] Is there any point in trying to get traditionally published? 

[21:00] What do you want your book to do for you? 

[25:30] More TinySheep distractions! See you next week! 

[26:15] Wanna go to portugal? Contact Vicky! Breaking Bread Mastermind is happening soon!
