EM and I had a wonderful chat today, and based on our chat, first drafts will forever be called vomit drafts! If you have one of your very own, come visit thepickybookworm.com/podcast and tell me about it!

Ben and I had such a fun chat! Listen to which accents we will never be able to imitate, the books we love to read, and why "writing what you know" is not a hard and fast rule. Find Ben over on Twitter @BenCross_author and say hi! Visit thepickybookworm.com/podcast to comment on today's show and find out how you can support the show. Until next time, friends!

JD and I had a fantastic talk today! He talks about avoiding cliches and typical tropes in his own writing, and his process as a pantser. We also talk about why writing or reading often is important, but why it's just as important to know when to take a break. You can find JD on Twitter @AScifiWriter! Until next time, friends!

The Golden Girls are back with another book club chat! We discuss Keepers and Destinies by Carl Brothers, and we are not short on opinions purchase the book if you like, before listening, but we are always careful to keep our chats spoiler free. Until next time, friends!

Carmen and I discuss so much today on finding inspiration and what inspires our writing. She advises authors to work on one or two works at a time, so they don't get overwhelmed. Find Carmen and their social/book links on carmenloup.com. until next time, friends!

Tina is new to the author community, and she is so cool! I knew I needed to have her on the show. She's from Austria, so English is not her first language, and we had such a fun chat! I absolutely loved talking to her, and the hour absolutely flew by! Enjoy our talk about the writing process, marketing, and some awesome book recommendations!

Lauren is on the show today to talk about her book, The Key of Arcandus, and also share some insight into her writing process.

Thanks for listening! Every week, I highlight an author from the indie community, and I'm so grateful to meet all these wonderful people! Visit thepickybookworm.com/Vicky to leave a comment or question for the author!

Coming Soon!!

Golden Girls are back with another book club chat! Tonight we discuss Fear and Fury by Jamie Jackson. Visit thepickybookworm.com/Fear for show notes, a chance to leave a comment, and links to purchase. Until next time, bookworms!
