Amy S. Peele is a successful indie author who’s written across several genres, including medical mysteries and, more recently, rom-com. Amy says that when you start writing in a new genre, it’s natural to feel a sense of imposter syndrome. After all, this is something that you haven’t written in before. But, with a little bit of practice and some know-how about the genre, you can easily overcome this natural part of the creative process.Amy proves that it is possible to build a writing career on the side of a busy job. Amy is a registered nurse and a retired organ transplant expert, and she uses many of her insights and anecdotes from when she worked in that field for her medical mystery books.Maybe stories from your career could be fodder for a future book?In this episode, we discuss:The key to switching genresThe conventions of a good rom-comTaking improv classes to improve your writingOutlining stories vs. freewritingBreaking down mental blocksHaving a tribe that you can share withResources:Amy S.
