John Helps You Write Better

I had 15 minutes between projects and here's a few quick thoughts about how to make a schedule. (This will later find its way into more fully formed thoughts for a stream at the end of April)

This was one hell of a good night. We talked tropes and genres and food comparisons and why sample pages are like bad plumbing etiquette. Such a good time. I think you're going to find a lot of valuable help here.

I'm bringing you a few tools and a new lens through which to view pitching. It's scary, but it doesn't need to be as scary as so many people make it. It's hard, but it doesn't need to be the impossible terrible thing people make it out to be. I think this will help you get better at it.

One hell of a good night. Great questions about editors, feedback, notes, publishers, social media and how to write multi-person conversations. Also, there's a great story about a massage chair that tried to kill me.

We can no longer deny how important platforms are for every kind of creative. Tonight, we walk through SEVEN different platforms, their pros and cons, as well as some stats to help you better use them to whatever creative end you may have.

Oh man, what a night! Tonight we talked about book covers, fear, pricing, salescopy, writing as a job, tea, editors and editorial style, and how great my couch is. One hell of a great night, thanks to everyone who was there.

You are not your stars. You are not your bad reviews. What matters in a review you get, what matters in a review you leave, and more all explained in this episode of How Do I Write This.

This is one hell of a Writers Chat. Great questions about conventions and passive voice and narration and writing schedules. This one's a good one.

I think it’s worth talking about Failure and Mistakes. I think they’re two tools we undervalue and demonize. Why? What if we changed the conversation?

it's the Writers Chat for 3/16. Tonight it's beta readers, love triangles, publishing, cheese, Indiana Jones, and selling books the old fashioned way. I think you'll like this one.
