In this episode, Pete and Laura ask Lucy:
Congratulations on the publication of your book—Clarity, Communication & Connection: Three Clear Steps to Future-Proof Your Business. Let’s talk about your writing process. Have you always wanted to write a book? Where did the idea come from?
One challenge for writers is maintaining motivation and productivity throughout the writing process. How did you stay motivated and focused while writing, and what advice do you have for writers struggling with these issues?
What did you learn through the writing process? What three pieces of specific advice could you share with our listeners about writing non-fiction?
Your book focuses on the importance of communication and clarity in business. Can you speak to how these concepts apply to writers and the writing process, too?
Your book emphasises the importance of being adaptable and open to change. How can this help writers overcome creative block or feeling stuck in their writing?
