GODIN SERIAL NUMBERS HOW TO
If you’re a more experienced writer or creative, then you’ll be particularly interested to hear CJ reflect on the ups and downs of a successful career, and on how to stay true to your inspiration over the long term, regardless of external circumstances. It’s sobering but maybe also reassuring to that a ‘big name’ writer didn’t have things all her own way, and that she had to fight to get where she is.
If you’re in the early phases of your career, as a writer or another kind of creative, you’ll find CJ’s story inspiring and instructive, especially in relation to dealing with adversity and setbacks. So asked her to come on the show and share some of the learnings from her extraordinary journey, and she kindly made the time to give me an extraordinary interview. I first met CJ about 10 years ago, when her career as a writer was starting to take off, and since then it’s been amazing to see her success, and inspiring to see how she has handled it, with good humour and generosity, inspiring others through her writing and speaking. And in our conversation she has some compelling things to say about the value of art and storytelling in the face of the darker side of life and death. This experience has clearly been a big influence on her fiction. She has also assisted police and prosecutors with cases involving child abuse, rape and murder.Īs she says in the interview, working as a doctor meant she saw people at their very best and their very worst.
Once upon a time CJ was a pediatric ER doctor (for those of us outside the US, ER stands for Emergency Room) so she was helping children and their families facing medical emergencies. She has won numerous awards, including the International Thriller Writers’ prestigious Thriller Award, and the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery and Suspense. This week’s guest on the 21st Century Creative podcast is CJ Lyons, a New York Times and USA Today thriller author who has sold more than 2.5 million books.
