Sarah L Richhelm’s Writing Process
Welcome back to another Writing Process episode and a return guest! Today’s chat is with a return guest, Sarah L Richhelm, who appeared on our Plot interview. It was great to have her back and chat about her process and how she liked editing… Official Bio:Sarah is a serial cookie-in-tea dunker and Spotify playlist curator and adores writing slow-burn, high-stakes fantasy romance you can giggle kick over. She graduated from the University of Queensland with a degree in Communications and—when she’s not travelling—resides in Brisbane, Australia with her partner, a stack of TBR books she promises she’ll read someday, and a growing array of indoor house plants. They’re still alive.…

Welcome to Writing Process Podcasts
For as long as I could remember, all I wanted to do is chat about the writing processes of all of my author friends and at first it was small, and now that I have published my book and met new and wonderful people along the way that list has grown and so many of my amazing author friends have come to the table. I wanted to make this a regular podcast but my mental health and life hasn’t let me so I’m even posting these a little late, but first off we’re going to break down my own writing process and it’s been so interesting to watch how it…

Destressing The Creative
I’m probably renowned by a lot of friends for being a bit of a stress head and someone who overthinks a lot, which is not untrue, but there are two words I actually hate hearing: Don’t Stress, because no matter how many times I hear these words, it never actually helps. In fact, if you have known me for longer than six months, you’ll know that those very two words will make me hang up on you, slam a door in your face and not talk to you until you understand that stressing is a part of my process. I will bitch and moan about how stressed I am and…

Faded Fragments: A Nexus Series Novel
Faded Fragments. Two words that came to me after I decided to change the original name of my novel (fyi it was first dubbed Kiss of The Dead and I used the font Papyrus to write it.) I was 14 when the story first came to mind. It started with a scene and to be honest it started as a result of finally seeing The Mummy and falling more in love with Ancient Egyptian mythology (and a young Brendan Fraser…let’s be real, Rick was and still is the dreamiest man ever). The first draft of FF was messy, it was incomplete and was just a scene with minimal action and…

Why?
What’s your why when it comes to your novel? I want to know. What makes your story stand out in comparison to someone else writing the same story? What is your writing why? I was listening to a podcast – one of my favourites about Self Publishing – The Self Publishing Show – and there was something that was really powerful in the way that they spoke about knowing the why behind your story. I think it’s the most powerful driving force of your story. Why does the story need to be written from that point of view? Or what makes your version of the story so amazing that it…

Become a Patreon
I’ve been hoarding my Patreon for years, because I’ve been too scared to launch it out into the nest because it meant keeping myself accountable and it meant that I was putting myself out there, but it’s been on my business board for so long and the closer I am getting to releasing my novel, I’m finding more and more things that I have been procrastinating on. This has been one of the biggers ones – along with my shop (which is just more of a fund thing) but I’m done hiding. I’m done making myself smaller because I’m scared. I deserve to get the most out of my talent…
