What if writing a book was about more than just getting the words on the page?
In the first episode of Book Doula Diaries, Megs Thompson, The Book Doula™, introduces you to her unique approach for supporting writers & their stories from the inside out.

Episode 2: Once Upon A TimeÂ
Â
Every story has to start somewhere. But what if the beginning doesn’t have to be perfect?
In this episode of Book Doula Diaries, we’re talking about the art of beginning, the fear, perfectionism & overthinking that can keep a story trapped in your head instead of making its way onto the page.
Whether you’re writing your first sentence, starting again, or simply wondering where the hell to begin, consider this your permission slip to make it messy.
Because every story has a beginning. You just have to give yourself permission to find yours.
