Many writers like to work within one genre or niche. They write thriller books or police procedurals, or mystery books.
Other writers find working within one genre or niche confining, and they like to try different types of writing to see where it takes them.
In this episode, I recently had the chance to catch up with Jenn Ashton, and she’s done just that. She’s published poetry, children’s books, journalism, historical research, technical manuals, and she’s also an accomplished visual artist.
I had many questions for Jenn about her creative ventures and whether other projects like painting can improve your writing.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Balancing different creative outlets
- Getting into a creative flow
- Sharing stories with a beta group before publishing
- Giving helpful feedback to a friend
- How to earn a living while following your creative dream
- The benefit of entering writing competitions
- Advice for writers looking to get published
