For many creative folks the world over, the month of November is spent in pursuit of writing 50,000 words. Today, Meg & Nikki welcome 3 of Meg’s author & entrepreneurial friends to see how they’re approaching this month.

Listen into the roundtable as they discuss:

* The reason why they’re not doing the “official” NaNoWriMo challenge

* Why writing succinctly is so freaking hard (we’re looking at you, Meg)

* Their differing approaches to outlining and story creation

A slightly sad note, during this recording session Megan Flatt’s audio decided to die so she does disappear in the latter half of the episode. Technology, we curse you!
