In this episode I talk to author of romantic comedy, Clodagh Murphy, about her writing process, journey to publication and struggles with self-doubt.
Clodagh Murphy has published several romantic comedies including Girl In A Spin, Frisky Business, and Some Girls Do. The Irish Independent called Clodagh ‘An exceptionally talented (and hilarious) Irish writer’.

Freedom software for internet-free work time
Alphasmart – another great way to avoid the internet while writing. Plus, it only lets you see a couple of lines of text at a time which helps you to just plough ahead and not get derailed by reading back over your work.

Also, I answer a listener question from @Maxi_Scribbler on Twitter:
Any chance of a chat on the podcast about finding an agent whether before publication or after and how you found yours?
Thanks so much for the question, Maxi!
