Old I Should Be Writing episodes are new again with classic podcasts from 2005! If you wonder what I Should Be Writing sounded like back in the old days, when podcasting was new and before I was published, look no farther! I’m releasing most of my old episodes with commentary, and maybe some new interviews with old friends.

The shows will also be released with transcriptions for free, but Patreon and Substack supporters will get early, ad-free podcasts and annotated transcripts too!

I Should’ve Been Writing S1 Ep5

It’s September, 2005, and I have breaking news- rewriting was difficult then, and it still is. I’m at a point where I guess I have to just accept some things and move on. It will always be difficult.

Transcript

Mur Lafferty 8:00: When I have bad days with my novel, I just tell myself, the first draft is allowed to suck. First drafts are always allowed to suck, because the first draft is not what you’re going to be sending the editor.

Music: Dana Countryman
