In Part 2 of our series on the demented decision to write a novel, we cover the logistics of actually, y'know, writing: where to start, writing tools (the good, the bad, & the ugh), the importance of backups, and why you have permission to suck. (Spoiler: we both do. It's okay.)

We all do it. We compare our journeys to those of other writers, and it's hard on the soul. Do we have a solution? No, we do not. But we sure do like to pontificate.
Ep 4 of Bad Lit Friends is available wherever you get your podcasts!

Bad Lit Friends Ep 4 will be a wreck but we know you love that. We discuss: how writing isn’t like knitting & should be like flying a plane; letting the hate flow through you; appalling behavior at writing conferences; & authors who actively despise their readers. #badlitfriends #writingcommunity

This sounds... ominous. Or like Meagan's been drinking vodka tonics (splash of Rose's and a twist of lime!) again.
Pray for Bad Lit Friends, the podcast that is trying to rein in one of its co-host's pretentious tendencies. #writesky #writingcommunity #thoughtsandprayers
