Oops, we got carried away in this bonus episode and almost ran out of time (yes we use free Zoom calls because we're cheap) so that's how you know it's jam packed!

Today we're talking all things doubt and anxiety related to writing, including aiming for quantity over quality in first drafts and accepting bad first drafts. We also get into our fears of public perception and reader interpretation and the monster that is social media. AND we also dive into a much deeper discussion than we anticipated about stories and authors with spicy takes and baggage and how we engage ethically or not with them.
