Join Tim, LeeAnna, and Seth (guest) from Effigy Press as they dive into the absurdly complicated world of memory, identity, and writing. From questioning whether your brain is actually trustworthy to deciding if your character’s backstory is a hot mess or just ‘authentic,’ these three somehow manage to make sense of it all. Oh, and because writing a novel is basically a sadistic endurance test, they’ll toss in some 'motivational' thoughts on how to actually finish one without resorting to throwing your laptop out the window. Spoiler: it's not pretty, but they’re here for the chaos.
Of course, as with all our podcasts, we’ve spared you the torture of obnoxious ads for tele-mental health services and mind-numbing product placements. You’re welcome—because we care about your sanity (and your eardrums). And if there are any ads, I swear we didn’t put them there.
