Episode 3: Nothing New Under the Sun

We share the experience of having our book ideas come into the world, not written by us.

We discuss whether there is anything truly original? Where do ideas come from, and how to capture them.  What is a unique voice, and how we can find ours?

We talk about the books Steal Like an Artist, Use Your Words, Big Magic and The Seven Basic Plots.

 We compare the way we write our first drafts, and how ideas are fun to get, but stories can be hard to write.
