Episode 202: Why I Believe Your Book Matters
In this solo episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I’m delving into why I titled my book Your Book Matters and why this is something I believe so deeply.
A wonderful listener emailed me in response to a podcast episode where I mentioned my, at the time, soon-to-be-released book title. They shared that most books don’t actually matter – that with a creative pursuit you’re the only one it matters to, otherwise you’re setting yourself up for major disappointment.
Listen in as I respond with:
- How I see this as a "yes and" situation.
- Why it’s important to focus on the reasons that your book matters to yourself.
- Why I firmly believe your book will matter to other people.
- How knowing what motivates you allows you to design the best accountability system for yourself.
- Intangible ways that we can measure our success and impact on others.
My dear friend, I want to assure you–now, more than ever, your writing matters. Telling your stories is a brave act. Sharing your perspective is mighty. Your ideas, your thoughts, your words–they might be the very lifeline someone else is desperately waiting for.
If nothing else, carving out time for your writing is important because it sustains your own soul. Let it be an escape. Let it fill up your inner well. Let it connect you to the deepest, truest part of yourself–rejuvenating your energy to care for others and fight important battles out in the world.
