Andrea McLean Instagram – Do you LOVE a True Crime podcast? Do you devour murder mysteries? Are you glued to crime thrillers? So does my guest on this week’s Midlife Conversation. In fact, she loves them so much that she found herself musing, as she raced around the country on her day job as a news reporter, “I wonder if I could do that?”
So began Jackie Kabler’s second career as a crime writer, which began in her forties.
They say that everyone has a novel in them… it turns out that (at the last count) Jackie has nine! From her first rom-com murder mystery based on her time spent as a breakfast television reporter, Jackie has since gone on to become an award-winning international best-selling author with her books translated into eight languages.
So… how do you go from having a nugget of an idea to getting it on paper, and actually getting published? In our conversation we cover:
👉 The writing ‘process’ – how to get inspiration from anything and keep track of your thoughts.
👉 The importance of making time to write, not waiting for the time to be right.
👉 The biggest misconception people have about what it’s like to write a book.
👉 And so much more!
If you are curious about what it’s like to become a writer, you don’t want to miss our conversation. You can watch it on YouTube, and join in on Facebook – the links are all in my bio. Enjoy!
