135. You Don't Have to Write to Be a Writer (Series Intro)

Welcome to Talk Your Book! Over the next 10 episodes, I'm showing you how to bypass the blank page, ditch the doubt, and use your own voice to write the book that's been living in your spirit. This series is for people with too many ideas and not enough time, neurodivergent creatives who don't thrive in linear systems, and leaders with sermons, speeches, and sticky notes full of gold. You don't have to "be a writer" to write a book—you just need a system. Let's do this together.

In This Episode:

• Why you don't need to "be a writer" to write a book

• The 3 types of people this voice-first method works best for

• What we'll cover over the next 10 episodes

• Your first voice recording prompt: "What story keeps finding me, even when I try to ignore it?"
