Episode Synopsis

How does one write an entire novel? It’s a bit like the advice for eating an elephant, one bite at a time. In this episode we cover Anne Lamott’s novel biting tips from her book, Bird by Bird. First comes her 1-inch picture frame technique, then her most famous suggestion, shitty first drafts. Finally, we tackle the anti-writing mindset, perfectionism.  Also on the podcast, we interview literary agent and podcaster, Erik Hane, about the fantasies and realities of publishing one’s first novel.Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday.
