  • Kick the "But" out of the room

    SHOW NOTES: Everyone tells new writers to plan, polish, learn the craft, and find the "right" tools. But sometimes all that preparation becomes the very thing that keeps us from writing. In this episode, we're kicking the "but" out of the room — at least long enough to let the story exist. We'll talk about the Creator versus the Critic, pantsers versus plotters, yellow pads versus Word versus Scrivener, and why the tool matters far less than getting the story out of your head and onto the page. Because the messy draft isn't the inferior version of the real work. The messy draft IS the work. First, make a mess. Then make a map. Then refine it. And if you've been waiting for the perfect setup before you begin, I've got a simple 15-minute challenge to help you stop preparing to write your book — and start writing it.

    Talking Points: • Writing messy and dreaming big • The Creator vs. the Critic • Why finishing a novel is so difficult • Inspiration first, editing later • Pantsers vs. plotters • Turning a messy draft into a story map • Choosing the right writing tools • Word, notebooks, and Scrivener • Don't let software stop you from writing • The 15-minute writing challenge • Giving yourself permission to just start • Getting your book out of your head and onto the page

  • Track, Tradition, and Family Legacy

    Show Notes: This episode explores the South Texas athletes, teams, and family legacies that helped shape local sports history throughout the 1960s and early 1970s.
