From Writer to Author: The Podcast
Got a story burning inside you—but no clue where to start (or how to finish)? Or maybe you’ve already published but want to grow your reach, your readers, and your confidence as an author?
Welcome to From Writer to Author: The Podcast, where we get real about what it takes to become a successful author. Hosted by Veronica G.—Amazon bestselling author of ten books (including two international bestsellers), book editor, formatter, and coach—this show is your weekly roadmap to writing better, publishing smarter, and building a thriving author business that lasts.
Drawing on nearly two decades of experience working with powerhouse brands like Tony Robbins and T. Harv Eker, Veronica brings a mix of creative strategy, tough love, and real-world know-how to every episode.
Each week, you’ll get practical advice, honest conversations, and behind-the-scenes insights into every part of the writing and publishing process—from finding your voice and finishing your manuscript to mastering self-publishing, launching your book, and marketing it like a pro.
Whether you’re staring at a blank page or celebrating your tenth book, you’ll find inspiration, motivation, and actionable steps to turn your writing dream into your author reality.
It’s time to stop just calling yourself a writer—and start owning your place as an author.

S1 E8 - How To Overcome Procrastination And Distractions To Get Your Book Written
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’ve ever sat down to write and suddenly needed to clean the house, check your email, reorganize a drawer, or scroll “just for a second,” this episode is for you. Procrastination and distractions hit every writer — even the motivated ones — and in this episode, we’re breaking down what’s really going on beneath the surface.
We’ll talk about why your brain resists writing even when you’re excited about your book, how to identify the hidden causes behind your lack of focus, and what small, realistic changes can help you stay consistent without guilt or overwhelm. Think of this as a supportive, coffee-chat pep talk that helps you finally get out of your own way and make meaningful progress on your manuscript.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, or frustrated with yourself, this episode will help you shift back into momentum — gently, clearly, and without the burnout.
