2 Years of Messy Growth and Trusting Her Process with Returning Guest AK Nevermore
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if your growth as a writer isn’t supposed to be neat or linear?
Who says it can't be chaotic as hell?
AK Nevermore, author of more than 20 titles, returns to talk about messy growth, genre-hopping, indie publishing, and learning craft by doing. We dig into fear, doubt, and even spite as creative fuel, plus why not every piece of feedback deserves your attention.
If you’ve ever felt like your process is chaotic or your career path doesn’t look “right,” because it’s different than another author's, this conversation is a reminder that there’s no one way to build a writing life—just the way that works for you.
