“LARPing a Confident Writer” is brought to you in large part by by my patrons , who received an early, expanded version of this episode. You can join our Fabulist community with a pledge as low as $3 a month!

Confidence is one of those weird emotions you can fake until you make it. So if we’re pretending to be a confident writer, what else can we pretend to be? We begin the Save the Cat! beat sheet as a LARP and it gets interesting.

What happens when you start making money with writing? We’re talking advances, accountants, the sought for “six figure deal” and more. You may not be making money now, but you probably intend to. So let’s talk about what people usually don’t talk about.

Note- I am not an accountant.

“Why Are Habits So Hard?” is brought to you in large part by by my patrons , who received an early, expanded version of this episode. You can join our Fabulist community with a pledge as low as $3 a month!

Everyone knows the way to write a book, or get in shape, is to do the thing (writing, exercising, abstaining from junk food, etc) every day, and boom, you’re done.

So why is it so freaking hard?

“Flawed Characters” is brought to you in large part by by my patrons , who received an early, expanded version of this episode. You can join our Fabulist community with a pledge as low as $3 a month!

I’ve been working on my protagonist’s flaws, and realizing that the story is a lot easier to write when your character may have flawed reasons driving them, and it gives them something to fight against!

I was on a panel at Flights of Foundry this weekend where we talked about what made a pro writer, and it turned out not to be what most people would assume. So we unpack that.
