Summary

You guys!!! My latest book, Didn't See That Coming, is OUT TODAY! To celebrate, I'm talking about a subject I get asked about a lot for this podcast, which is how I tackle writing: writing when I'm tired, writing on a deadline, writing in different genres, all of it! If you want to know how to fill pages look no further than these inspiring secrets. -- Look: we've all either been through it, are currently going through it, or will go through it. That's just how life is: once you think you've got it all figured out, it hits you with something you never saw coming. Grief? Check. Divorce? Check. Global pandemic? Uh, CHECK! That's why I wrote a new book all about conquering hard things and coming out the other side a better, stronger you.

0:00.0	Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of the Rachel Hollis podcast. I'm Rachel Hollis.
0:08.1	This is my podcast and this week we're going to talk about how to write a book. The book
0:15.6	that I'm reading right now said that 500, 500, 500, 000 authors will ever sell more than
0:27.0	100,000 copies of their books. So out of all the authors in the world, only 500 of them
0:32.3	will ever break six figures in sales and not to sound like a douchebag, but I have sold
0:42.4	millions and millions of copies of books. So I say that not to pat myself on the back,
0:49.7	because I feel like I have some clout in this area. So if you have ever thought about writing a book,
0:57.4	if it's something that sort of has been on your mind for a while, or maybe you're like I was for
1:03.0	years, and you have started and stopped like 20 books instead of finishing anything, this episode
1:11.3	is for you. I hope that it gives you some courage to start working on a project you've been thinking
1:17.3	about. I hope it lights a fire under your butt to finish, but this is my advice for how to write
1:26.4	and anything else I can think of. Hi, I'm Rachel Hollis and this is my podcast. I spend so many
1:36.2	hours of every single week reading and listening to podcasts and watching YouTube videos and trying
1:42.1	to find out as much as I can about the world around me. And that's what we do on this show. We talk
1:49.1	about everything, life and how to be an entrepreneur. What happened to dinosaurs? What's the best
1:54.7	recipe for fried chicken? What's the best plan for intermittent fasting? What's going on with
1:59.3	our inner child? How's therapy working out for you? Whatever it is, my guests are into. I want to
2:05.4	unpack it so that we can all understand. These are conversations. This is information for the curious.
2:13.6	This is the Rachel Hollis podcast.
2:25.3	So I will start off by saying I, if not a trained professional, I am someone who
2:35.0	has achieved a great amount of success in this particular field, but I just want you to keep in mind
2:42.6	that this is learned. This is like on the job learning. This is not something that I learned
