Today's guest is Caroline Shannon-Karasik. I know Caroline because we took Catapult’s 12-Month Essay Generator together, led by Chloe Caldwell. In this episode, she fills me in on what she’s done with the manuscript since then. Caroline drops some serious wisdom on her writing process, how to approach a rewrite, and giving yourself guilt-free time to research. She also reads an excerpt from her Work in Progress, a hybrid memoir entitled "Mother-Eaten." Plus, we end the episode with the first-ever edition of Prompt Me, Daddy, so make sure you stick around to the end to get a lesson from Caroline. Follow Caroline on Twitter @CSKarasik.
