Episode 52: [GUEST] Don't Wait! Follow Your Dream From Print to the Screen with B.L. Thoma
This week on the podcast, Stephanie interviews her friend, author B.L. Thoma, who shares her unique writing journey from a dream to the screen. It’s the direction so many authors hope their book takes from being traditionally published to being optioned for the screen.
B.L. Thoma’s first novel, Hear My Whisper, in her Morgan’s Landing series was written in an unexpected way, yet it opened up opportunities and helped her discover her gift for storytelling.
And so I got out of bed, I grabbed a spiral book, I crawled back in bed, I wrote and wrote everything I could remember from a dream.

Episode 23: [BOOK MARKETING] Showing up online without putting your face everywhere
Love the t-shirt!
I think when I try to schedule my writing time, it sometimes induces just the blank brain and I used to be frustrated by that when I had limited time to do the actual writing but now I lean into that and just allow a little meditation to happen or to play with my writing and ideas in a way that doesn't feel like it has to be "productive". Leaning into seasons even for our character development is a really great permission
You’re so right about the “blank brain” experience. It’s great you’ve found a way to make your writing time playful rather than needing it to feel productive every time. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Abby Jimenez is now one of my favorite authors! Thank you for introducing her to me.
Thank you for these insights. I’m a life long list maker, but now will be paying far more attention to the lists given in the books I read. These podcasts continue to make me a far better reader.
I want to read this book!!!! Can’t wait to see the huge number of shelves it belongs.
Having fun!
I keep learning so much from you both. Love your perspective concerning “interruptions”.
This is such a smart and interesting point!

What keeps me from writing a memoir is my terrible memory! 😊
Do you journal? I find that to be such a helpful source of memory recall. Also I just started a new series of using tarot card pulls to jog the memory! I ran into that same trouble during my memoir writing process and I found that the more stories I wrote down, the more I remembered.
I'll be on my writers retreat soon. Coffee chat with my fave women might be perfect for me. ❤
This is exactly what I needed to hear right now! I’ve been going through some struggles and this is so helpful to remember. 😊
Reading other stories is so helpful for authors. Unfortunately, I don’t carve out much room to do this in my schedule. Thank you for the reminder! 😊
You're welcome! We have a monthly book club, if you're interested, that focuses on reading like a writer. You can find more information here: inspired-writer-collective.mn.co/plans/375375?bundle_token=55212ca3aefd5815ddaf1c2f7c6f6d9b&
I’d still love to be a guest on your show! Please let me know the best way to contact you. 😊
Awesome! Shoot us an email at inspiredwritercollective@gmail.com
Will do!!
It’s so fun to be at the beginning of something like your podcast and enjoy every new subscription and watch everything unfold. 😊
So glad you're enjoying the discussions!
Ok. Now you’ve given me another book to read. Eleanor, here I come.
Creativity in community! That creative energy is contagious. I’m more creative when I’m with other creators.
