You Don’t Need a Literary Background to Write Your Novel
Today we’re busting one of the sneakiest myths out there: that you need a literary background to write a great novel.
Spoiler—you don’t.
In this episode, I share a story from a coaching call, plus my own late start as a novelist, to remind you that credentials matter far less than persistence, passion, and the willingness to keep learning by doing. Writing skills can be learned—but the only thing that really counts is that you keep showing up.
The takeaway? Don’t let yourself fail before you even start. You are a writer if you choose to be. So choose it—today, tomorrow, and the day after.
