In this insightful episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Glenn Schaeffer, an esteemed author and writer's coach, about the multifaceted world of writing and publishing. The conversation opens with Schaeffer sharing his journey into writing, offering valuable lessons he’s learned along the way. He delves into the process of book writing, providing listeners with practical advice on everything from developing a compelling narrative to overcoming writer's block.
The discussion then shifts to the various avenues of publishing. Schaeffer breaks down the pros and cons of traditional versus self-publishing, offering insights that demystify the often-overwhelming world of book publishing. His expertise provides a road map for aspiring authors, helping them navigate the best path for their work.
A highlight of the episode is Schaeffer’s introduction of his innovative course designed for elders to write their own obituaries. He explains the profound idea behind this project – it’s not just about crafting a final farewell, but an exercise in reflecting on one’s life story. Schaeffer emphasizes how this can be a powerful tool for anyone, regardless of age, to evaluate their life achievements and aspirations. He encourages listeners to consider writing their own life stories as a way to gain perspective and, if needed, make meaningful changes.
Throughout the episode, Schaeffer’s passion for writing and empowering others to tell their stories is palpable. He leaves listeners with the thought-provoking idea that writing one’s own obituary is not just about the end of life, but a unique opportunity to assess and potentially redirect one's life journey. The episode closes with a reminder that everyone has a story worth telling and that it’s never too late to start writing the next chapter of their life.
