Every writer will tell you there is often nothing more intimidating than the blank page.
One of the ways I’ve learned to eliminate this fear is by getting started with my favorite writing device: Bullet Points.
Now I always knew this trick worked when it came to composing legal documents, but when it came to writing “The Man in the Ditch,” I wasn’t sure if something like bullet points, which feel so clinical, would jive with the creative process.
Thankfully, my doubts were set aside the minute I met the woman who would become my collaborator and editor, Alex Davis.
If it hadn’t been for the amazing prompts, the detailed questions, and the way she helped me find my creative voice using a style of writing I was most comfortable with, my book would be unfinished at best, already abandoned at worst.
That’s why I was thrilled when Alex agreed to come on Legal Grounds to talk about her companies, Davis Legal Media and Dias Thought Leadership.
After earning her J.D. 2015, Alex practiced law for several years before realizing her true passion lay in helping other attorneys get pen to paper so they can thrive for their clients and in the legal community at large.
We discuss her early life, what it takes to start a business, the need for more attorneys to do what they love with their J.D., and what it takes to succeed in a world that often feels overwhelming.
And there’s plenty of laughs along the way.
Enjoy the show!
