The Mess is Where the Magic Happens

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for the mess.Do you remember the old Reese’s candy campaign, “There’s no wrong way to eat a Reese’s”?In retrospect, this was probably meant to counter KitKat’s “break me off a piece of that KitKat bar” methodology.KitKat might not be my favorite candy, but their approach makes sense.Simplicity is appealing.So when I talk about simplified templates and processes and systems for writing (and I get a smidge of irritation in my voice), I don’t blame them either.When you’re looking back and forth between the intricacy of a completed book and the mish-mash that is your concept-in-progress…well, it’s natural to want it all broken into pieces.I’m just a “no wrong way to eat a Reese’s” kind of person.- Becoming the candymaker- Getting comfortable in the test kitchen- Finding your own recipe for writingEnjoying this space?
