“It’s really hard to do it all yourself.” – W.L. Hawkin   Today’s featured author is a mom, seeker, former HS English teacher, and a mystic at heart, W.L. Hawkin. W.L. and I had a fun conversation about being an indie author, how Wendy was a high school dropout that eventually taught high school English classes, and more!!!   Key Thing’s You’ll Learn: Wendy’s Why for writing. What Druidry is about and why she follows it. Wendy’s extreme research activity helped her with her writing. What helps Wendy get into her writing rhythm. The 4 biggest lessons that she’s learned as an indie author.     W.L.’s Site: http://bluehavenpress.com/ W.L.’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Wendy-Louise-Hawkin/e/B01N69N3DW?fbclid=IwAR0Co4RnkVaCQ8ZJ3hy-7EdwE2viwA6s6-ZycZmWbEDRmDesPnG_YRUKbms   The opening track of this episode is titled “Violet” by MadXRuler.
