Somebody told you real authors write every day, and you believed them. You bought the planner. You set the alarm. You white-knuckled it for nine days and then crashed so hard you spent a week telling yourself you had no business writing anything.

Hi. I'm Frankie Blooding — USA Today bestselling author, 53 books, 24 years in this industry, and a Heartweaving Mythmaker who spent most of those years trying to out-discipline her own brain. (Spoiler: I never once won.)

This show is for the chaos authors. The ones who write in bursts and 2am fires, who vanish for two weeks and come back holding a whole book, who build the spreadsheet for the elves instead of writing chapter three. Each episode digs into how the four author archetypes actually work — how you brainstorm, why marketing eats your tank, why you disappear, what your "empty weeks" are actually doing — plus what I've screwed up in my own author engine, because the failures teach better than the wins.

No hustle worship. No write-every-day sermons. I've watched that grind eat too many good writers, and I'm done being polite about it.

Come find out which engine you're actually running. Then we'll get you writing like it.

Burn the bookmill.

  • The Four Author Archetypes: Why One-Size-Fits-All Advice Is Burning You Out
    Jul 15 2026

    Isn't it more fun to be a Heartweaver than a Diplomat?

    In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on the four author archetypes — where they came from, and why I took the 16 personalities and refit them for the indie author experience. Because after watching myself and some amazing author friends do everything the industry said — write a crap ton of books, get them out there, hit $50K — and burn out ANYWAY, I stopped believing the problem was us. We hadn't failed ourselves. We'd been following the guidelines of people who were successful doing things their way. Who just weren't us.

    Inside: why Heartweavers are the heart of the indie author industry (and why half of mine can't write romance — including me), how to spot a Mythmaker's book by its unresolved plot threads, why handing a Wildscribe a system feels like putting them in a cage (I learned that the hard way, with my husband and my best friend), and why LoreKeepers out-build everyone by waiting for trends to become tropes — plus the two blind spots that quietly cost them.

    If you've ever wondered which one you are — or why every system you've tried felt like it was built for somebody else — this is the episode that explains the whole map.
