Are you struggling to be creative in a world that doesn't value creativity?
Do you find real life gets in the way of doing the creative things you love? Are you being held back by fears that your work won't be "good" or that no one cares?
The good news is that it's true - no one cares! Liberate yourself to read and write what you want. Do it for you. Don't listen to the haters. Surround your haters with a cloud of bees. Read the smut. Write that self insert wish fulfillment novel. We're doing it!
We decided to return to the hobbies of our youths and complete the novel writing process. This started as a challenge - we would write our novels under a certain time frame and then we would either self publish or try to submit for editing. That time frame has long flown, but Steph has completed Draw Me In and Vikki has completed Can Man. We are at different points in the editing process but we're learning new skills as we go, and making friends with other writers and readers.
On each episode we discuss where we are in our process, share tips and failures, and of course gossip about the books we're reading. We also interview people who write across a variety of fields, including songwriting and journalism.
