“If you feel like nothing is ever going to happen for you and you’re filled with self doubt and imposter syndrome? That’s normal.”
In this episode, Lesley and Marianne tackle the listener-suggested topic of writing. How did each of them turn writing into a career? Why is it so hard? Why do writers continue to be riddled with uncertainty even when they’re fairly successful? What kind of advice would they offer people trying to get a start? They also discuss Jessica Wakeman’s recent Medium essay about having spent her 20s writing candidly about sex, and how she feels about that now as a thirtysomething married person. Also there’s a little bit about the xoJane era. Enjoy!
