076: How to Edit Your Writing with Powerful Authenticity - Q&A with KARIN STEVENS
Today we have a sequel episode with Karin Stevens! (If you haven't listened to her previous episode, I dropped a link to it in the show notes for this episode.) Karin is a choreographer based in the Seattle area. It turns out that she's been doing more writing lately and she sent me an email the other day with a question. I immediately knew this question should become a podcast episode.
Her email was perfect timing too because I had a lightbulb moment the other day. Once a month, I'd like to feature one of these Q&A episodes with either a client or colleague about that month's theme. I'm super excited about this because if any of the future Q&A episodes turn out as beautifully as Karin's then we've struck gold.
So yeah, Karin and I had a gold-level conversation today all about her current self-promotion anxieties, mainly how to make the right editing choices while still staying true to your voice. She asked me about my writing boundaries, my editing process for both book writing and songwriting, and my bravery equation for adjusting how I'm saying what I need to say.
Before we jump into today's Q&A conversation, please know that if these topics are of interest to you, then I want you to take the free masterclass on overcoming self-promotion anxiety. It's a super in-depth exploration and explanation of what is behind self-promotion anxiety and some of my favorite ways to conquer these anxieties, especially during seasons of bravery (like depression, emotionally tender/thin days, and high stress.) When we're in a state of fear, it's really difficult to make confident decisions when our physical, emotional, relational, and career environment does not foster those confident choices. In the masterclass, I walk y'all through the best method to short-circuit those stressors and overcome self-promotion anxiety.
The class is free and there's a registration link in the show notes for this episode and on my website at emilyannpeterson.com/workshops.
Okay, so in celebration of that exploration and conquering of self-promotion anxiety, let's buckle up to chat about the value of an authentic editing process with your creative works. Please join me in welcoming powerhouse choreographer Karin Stevens!
We'd love to hear all about your favorite parts of today's Bare Naked Bravery. You can find Karin Stevens and myself on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more. Go ahead and tag us so we can cheer you on and see what you're up to.
