A Writer's Life with Diane Hatz

A Writer’s Life is a podcast about falling down, picking yourself back up, and taking creative chances again, especially later in life. The focus is on writing, creativity, and the realities of creative work, including the practical and emotional terrain of indie writing and publishing.

I’m Diane Hatz, an indie author and the creator of the Mind Monsters novel series. This podcast is a space where I talk about the writing life as I am living it. Long creative projects. Uncertainty. Change. Staying engaged with the work when there are no guarantees.

Some episodes focus on indie writing and self-publishing. Others explore the creative life more broadly, including fear, persistence, identity shifts, and the choices we make when we decide to keep going. What connects it all is lived experience. I’m not offering advice or answers, just sharing what I’m seeing and learning along the way.

New episodes are published once or twice a month.
