Welcome to the first episode of The Writers' Nook! Gary, Janey, Oren, and Shayla discuss the importance of a small bit of progress over no progress at all, or 1 is greater than 0. We gather together and share the struggles and plans we have in our writing journey. Here's a quick rundown:

What we're currently working on writing-wise

Challenges we face as writers, like having kiddos or fixing plot holes

How authors like Jerry Jenkins, Jamie McGuire, and Toni Morrison get their books finished

One is greater than zero: What does that mean? How will it help us as writers?

How close Janey is to being perfect, but not her query letter

Shayla laughing too loudly while beating her dogs with a towel in the background

Why you need to be in a writing group—no more isolation! And how hilarious we are at our own group.
