Episode 258 Writing While #Broken: Talking Depression, Anxiety and Writer's Block with Jenny Lawson

Writing is hard. In this episode, we talk imposter syndrome, editing, the right headspace for reading your own stuff, why you might need a &#8220;nice&#8221; agent, reading your work aloud to friends, recording audiobooks in the closet, being years late on a deadline, sending your editor proof of life and the deep inner conviction that people only buy your book because they feel sorry for you. #ohyeah.<br/><br/>#AmReading<br/><br/>Jess:&#160;<a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781538748213">Win</a>&#160;by Harlan Coben<br/><br/>Jenny:&#160;<a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780593318171">Klara and the Sun</a>&#160;by Kazuo Ishiguro<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780385542432">Hour of the Witch</a>&#160;by Chris Bohjalian<br/><br/>Note:&#160;<a href="https://bookriot.com/listen/shows/thepodcast/">Bookriot Podcast</a><br/><br/>KJ:&#160;<a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781101905623">The Fifth Petal</a>&#160;by Brunonia Barry<br/><br/>Jenny&#8217;s Bookshop:&#160;<a href="https://www.nowherebookshop.com/">The Nowhere Bookshop</a>, San Antonio, TX<br/><br/><a href="https://www.nowherebookshop.com/fantastic-strangelings-book-club">The Fantastic Strangelings Book Club</a>&#160;books:<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781984881908">Professional Troublemaker</a>&#160;by Luvvie Ajayi Jones<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780593188873">Swallowed Man</a>&#160;by Edward Carey<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780525620785">Mexican Gothic&#160;</a>by Silvia Moreno-Garcia<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780062905659">Catherine House</a>&#160;by Elisabeth Thomas<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781950691449">The Did Bad Things</a>&#160;by Lauren A.
