Episode 2.5: Finish What You Started

Coffee and Catastrophe

How many novels have you started writing only to get stopped by the muddy middle? How do you get unstuck and plow through to the end? Join your pantser author hosts William Brian Johnson and DA Bale as Brian contemplates taking his pants off to finish a novel that has taken years off his life. He promised a book release last year only to miss the mark because he got stuck in the weeds of world building. Pantsing allows the opportunity of discovery while writing, but plotting moves things along faster in the writing process. Both methods hold great value for authors, but when you get bogged down it's not the time to quit. It's time to knuckle under, change things up, and figure out how to get out of the mud and weeds to move forward again.
