Join Vicky and Joe as they talk about the wonders of short stories, the importance of pronouns (because they ARE important—tune if you're in a frothing rage about how "woke" I am and find out why), and the fantastic hot seat book coaching event Vicky ran last week. They run through the 5 questions she chose, and show you how you can get past similar challenges. Happy listening!

Key Takeaways:

[2:25] Elephants are Vicky's favorite animals.

[7:00] Exploring a genderless species, and why language is important.

[11:50] Imagine not being able to recognize faces because of a brain injury.

[16:00] Vicky received some great questions lately!

[16:55] How do you know which non-fiction book to write?

[19:20] How do I get the right tone down for my readers?

[20:15] This is your first draft! Your tone of voice isn't going to match 100% on its first go.

[22:00] How do you know when you're finished?

[25:20] Why am I stuck?

[29:00] Currently stuck on a writing problem? Don't worry, they're common and Vicky is always here to help!
