Ep.137 Pizza and Writing

"Writing is like pizza. Cold pizza, good pizza, bad pizza...it's better than no pizza. So remember: bad writing is better than no writing." --Lauren Oliver author of Vanishing Girls

Welcome to the Overcoming Writer's Block podcast episode #137.

Today Judy and I had some fun with pizza. A couple of hours before we talked, I was on a walk with my dogs and listening to a podcast. The speaker was explaining that when they were writing, they often really struggled with the worry, the fear really, of what other people--family mostly--would think of the story. This was a major block to their ability to get their words down on paper.

And, well, my brain went to pizza. (Not sure why...) It started to use pizza as a metaphor to illustrate why other people's opinions should have no bearing on your writing.

In my conversation with Judy, we talked for a while before I hit record. I didn't know if this was too much of a stretch. But we decided to go with the idea and just have fun with it.
