Hi Bleeders!
Okay, wow, this Little Podcast That Could has now had 13 enlightening guests β a bakerβs dozen of different perspectives on writing and publishing. Iβve learned so much already. To reinforce these valuable takeaways, I assembled the Cliffβs Notes so we can all steal like artists and drill the lessons weβve learned deeper into our minds.
The latest episode is an anthology of my favorite writing and publishing tips from this summer.
If you love writing and publishing advice as much as I do, this episode is going to hit the spot. Itβs chock-full of wisdom on building community, establishing a daily practice, editing yourself, and all kinds of helpful writing and publishing mindset tips.
Big thanks to the following authors for contributing their knowledge and experience:
Samantha Allen π Halley Sutton π Chloe Caldwell π Amanda McNeil π Hannah Howard π Bridgette Bianca π Chelsea Martin π Emmy Olea π Elle Nash π Caroline Shannon-Karasik π Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah π Omar Mouallem π Shelby Hinte π
Where I write:
I usually ask each guest to give us a peek behind the scenes. This week, Iβm offering my own BTS.

Online reading about writing:
How Does a Married Couple Write Books Together? - Can you imagine writing a book with your partner?! βTwo chairs, one computer.β I could never. I wouldβve attempted such things in my 20s but would consider it relationship suicide today. If you can believe it,Β Ilona AndrewsΒ and her husband Gordon seem to genuinely enjoy the arrangement, according toΒ the NYT.
How to Write a Novel in a Month - I love this practical, numbers-based approach to cranking out a draft fromΒ Fawn ParkerΒ viaΒ Catapult. Iβm toying with the idea of doing NaNoWriMo this year and found her advice helpful for wrapping my head around that.
I honestly might steal this wedding reception idea:
I profiled the βdick artistβ behind Doc Johnsonβs sex toys for InsideHook if youβre into that kind of thing. π
Until next time, HAPPY BLEEDING!
