Ronnie Allen is a New York City native, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York, where she was a teacher in the New York City Department of Education for 33 years. In the early 90s she began a journey into holistic healing and alternative therapies and completed her PhD in Parapsychic Sciences in 2001. Along the way, she has picked up many certifications. She is a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner as well as a crystal therapist, Reiki practitioner, metaphysician, dream analyst, and Tarot Master Instructor.
In this episode, Ronnie discusses:
-How she got into Reiki and crystals and how they enter her writing.
-Her series of books, "The Sign Behind the Crime."
-How she uses her readers to choose which book in the series that she writes next.
-There is so much more that a writer can do aside from simply writing.
-The importance of giving yourself deadlines.
-Her first creative moments, learning how to get her characters on paper.
-How readers and writers both want to go on a journey with the writing.
-How people need to get over their fear of writing their fantasies or extremes, because a reader won't want to fly away with them if they are stuck in the mundane.
-How getting into "deep POV" can allow you to flow, and to allow your characters to really take over.
-Her worst creative moment when a teacher embarrassed her in front of her class, and how it inspired her to prove him wrong.
-The importance of paying attention to someone else's suggestions on your work... to change it if it resonates with you, but to leave it alone if it doesn't.
-If you are looking to publish, the importance of paying attention to what a publisher wants.
-Write out baby steps to get what you want. If you can't write a manuscript for a novel, write short stories.
-You have to make sacrifices for your passions.
Ronnie's Final Push will inspire you to just get started in finding your passion and taking baby steps.
