The One-Drink Book Club is an informal, (almost) weekly series in which fellow author Emma Lee Jayne joins me and our other creative friends to talk about the life, business, and art of writing and making books … for the duration of one Friday-afternoon drink.

Here’s what we talked about in this episode:

We really just hit one topic today, but we hit it well, thoroughly, and from a hundred angles: What happens when writing doesn’t come in the way it should, or that you want it to? What happens when you’re blocked, and you don’t know what to do about it?

Emma and I are both going through our own version of the shit, and we unpack it all in this big, juicy episode.

Let us know what you think in the comments!
