It's Christmas in May! Our backlog is crazy to give us flexibility when life goes off the rails, so today's episode was recorded back during the holidays when Lianna was very sleepy and surrounded by jingle-bell cats and Dakota was laughing madly holding an axe, but instead of chopping down Christmas trees she was chopping her WIP into two books. That's the kind of BTS content we know you come for!

This episode is great though. Lianna gives some super salient advice on specificity (peep that unintentional alliteration, folks, that's how you know we're the real deal...or just snakes in disguise...sssss). We talk about when to beef up description/reactions vs when to summarize to move forward plot. We cover writing flawed and layered characters. And we get a little loopy toward the end!
