SWRT 053 | What Writers Really Do part 2
May 10, 2018

We’ve moved!

The Story Works Round Table podcast is now on Substack, where we can offer even more great content to our fans and listeners.

Want to join the conversation?

Subscribers can sit with us at the round table to talk story craft every month. When we read a guest’s book, you can, too, then come discuss it with us and each other. Want to ask writing questions? Bring them to the round table!

We can’t wait to see how we grow over there. Won’t you join us?

 

This week, Alida and Robert continue their conversation about the writing process, creativity, first drafts, where ideas come from, and how revision really works. The inspiration for our conversation is George Saunders’ essay “What Writers Really Do When They Write.”
