I'm Annie Guest. After a career in book publishing, advertising, and law, I took another leap to work as a mental health therapist and publish my first book. In DESIGN FOR YOUR MIND, I combine my passion for people and their potential with my love for interior design and my appreciation for the design choices that support mental health.

The challenge was to remember to stop writing and keep my day in balance. I think a big advantage for my first book was to be an indie writer and not feel the pressure of an impatient editor or the obligations that accompany a big advance. I felt free as I wrote the book, often joyful, sometimes unsettled by memories, constantly learning new technical skills (for example, indexing is a hoot!), finding and strengthening my voice, and trying to envision and write the book I would want to read. If I ever write a book under a deadline, that will be a whole different adventure. I may well be struck by writer's block under that pressure and have to work through that. But for a newbie author, not feeling pressure gave me freedom. (less)

I don't know if I'm qualified yet to advise others in my boat. But if I were to offer words of encouragement to my aspiring peers, I'd encourage all of us to read widely, to read the best writing we can lay our hands on, to learn as much as we can about the art of writing, to develop our powers of discernment (that is, to understand what makes writing good and not-so-good), and to nurture and strengthen our voices, culling dead words and seeking always to express our thoughts more clearly, honestly, and vividly. Also, I would encourage those of us just getting started to share our writing only with people we trust to treat it with respect, and to share it only when we were ready. Writing takes courage, if it's any good, and courage and confidence need room and the freedom to grow. (less)
