The Write It Scared Podcast

Reframing the Dreaded “How’s Your Book Coming?” Question

Stacy Frazer Season 3 Episode 71

Nothing cuts quite like that dreaded question: “So… how’s your book coming?” 

 In this episode of Write It Scared, I dig into why it stings, how to answer without spiraling, and how to reframe it into an empowering moment. Because progress isn’t about speed or polish—it’s about staying true to what you value and what you’re making meaning of in your creative life.
