TRIGGER WARNING: it's time to get back to realness! *Rea* and *Joe* take an opportunity again on this week’s episode of the *Writeway Podcast* to get really, really, really, REALLY, REALLY real about the relationship a writer has with their work and what that can mean when they pursue a #PathToPublication. The co-hosts touch on some of the following topics: * Getting too close to the manuscript, and when it’s time to take a break… * What’s expected of the writer in the writer/editor relationship. * Stepping out of your comfort zone with a “beta reader.” * If a writer wants to be published, a writer has to want to change. Drawing on combined decades of experience in writing and editing, this episode breaks down when and how a writer’s lack of confidence, imperiled ego, and resistance to outside feedback can often set forth a very limited path. For more information on the writer/editor relationship, we recommend you revisit EPISODE 21 ( https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/writeway-podcast/id1496521043?i=1000499003145 ). Also, this episode got us wondering: who’s the first person you let read your manuscript when it’s done?
