The Literary Hub editor and author of THE GLOW talks about funnies & jokey asides, pitching tricks, writing production, and the brief elation of publishing a book, & more!
I love this, “…the goal isn’t Feel like a worthwhile person. It’s Write the book. And that, I think, is a much less emotionally fraught position from which to write.” I’m learning that lesson now and writing is a lot more fun when I don’t tie it to my identity. Thanks for this post!
P.S. I was delighted when Jane Friedman referenced you in The Hot Sheet!
It's so hard to separated the two, honestly, especially when you identify as a "writer"--as in the noun and not the verb! And I love Jane Friedman--she's a legend. <3
Really loved this interview and plan to share it around. Thank you.
Thanks, Bob! Jessie is great!
