#382: Exploring the Craft: Author vs. Writer: with Sandra Beck and Dee Dee Lake

Join Sandra Beck and Dee Dee Lake on Motherhood Talk Radio as they delve into the intriguing distinctions between being an author and a writer. This episode offers a deep dive into what sets these two creative roles apart, discussing everything from the creative process and publication to the personal and professional identities associated with each title. Being an Author: An author is typically someone who has published a work, whether it's a book, article, or other substantial pieces of writing. The discussion will explore the journey an author takes from concept to publication, the challenges of finding a publisher, and the satisfaction of seeing one's name in print. Being a Writer: A writer, on the other hand, might focus more on the act of writing itself, whether they are published or not. This segment will cover the daily disciplines, challenges, and joys of regular writing, how writers hone their craft, and the various ways writing impacts personal and professional life. Sandra and Dee Dee will also discuss how one can transition from being a writer to becoming an author, the different motivations behind each role, and how each contributes uniquely to the literary world.
