Writers Behaving Badly Podcast

Why is my manuscript being mean to me?


Listen Later

This week, Lisa fesses up to making her debut (pics below), Brooke wants to know why her manuscript hates her then proceeds to read a breathtaking passage, Lisa answers a curly question and Kylie Orr fesses up!

Did we all just…win??? You’ll have to listen to find out. Brooke has a very relatable editing moment but then proceeds to knock it out of the park with her feedback. Lisa explains how to know if you have a story or a situation and Kylie Orr admits to getting busted in a library.

It’s chaotic. It’s unhinged. It’s exactly the kind of writing therapy you didn’t know you needed.

Got a sin to confess?

Tell us your worst writing sin of the week in the comments—did you out-bad us?
