Living the Story: Under the Cover

We’re continuing our brand new Zimmerman Podcast miniseries, Sleeping with a Stranger: Under the Cover. In the next few weeks leading up to the release of my memoir, Sleeping with a Stranger, we’ll be taking a look “under the cover” as I share insider information about the story and process behind my memoir, Sleeping with a Stranger, which releases April 7, 2020.

I Never Knew I'd Write A Book

If you want a sneak peek into my book, all you have to do is listen to the Zimmerman Podcast episode with my husband, Brian!

Even if you’ve followed me for years, if you’ve taken all my courses... even if you’ve come to freelance at my studio like some Bloomers, you probably don’t know much at all about my personal life.

You probably don’t know that from the time my twins were born and through the many months that followed, my husband survived life-threatening physical illness, our that we worked constantly to endure emotional strain, or that it's only been in recent months that we’ve really started to recover.

I Treat My Book Just Like My Business

Did you catch last week's book announcement?

The official title (for now) of my memoir is Sleeping With a Stranger!

Right now, the book is with an editor undergoing the first round of edits. I can't wait to look at the notes in a few weeks. I'm hoping it'll feel like good haircut.

My Book, Sleeping With A Stranger

I Went Dark Last Month

I went dark on my instagram feed two weeks ago. I had given myself one week to write a book, and I needed total focus to make that happen.

For that one week, I holed up in a hotel in downtown Little Rock and went to work! It was grueling; a total marathon. But I got my draft to the editor by the deadline, and it felt darn good getting everything down on paper (or virtual paper, at least).

In the week since I turned in my draft, I've felt a little funky, like I have a writing hangover.
