Manda Scott | Writing in Tough Times


Listen Later

I cannot think of a more perfect episode to release this week than Manda Scott's.


We recorded this a few months ago, and even then we strayed into a subject that will speak loud and clear to everyone listening this week: how is it possible to stay focused and motivated when things are tough out in the world. Manda and I were discussing her ability to persevere in writing her most recent novel, Treachery of Spies, despite having to start one of her dual timelines over repeatedly.


In addition, we get into her passion for working toward a better future regarding climate change and the difficulties we are facing on the planet today. I know many of us are at home this week, facing a situation none of us could have imagined even a few months ago. This episode will help you get through and keep hopeful when things get tough. Manda is a passionate and thoughtful guide through, one I know you're going to love hearing from.
