In this episode we talk all about how to finish a novel. We discuss the book Finish: giving yourself the gift of done by Jon Acuff who says that perfectionism is the enemy of finishing something. We discuss Sarah’s young adult novel she is writing, how many words she needs to write it, and the deadline she has given herself.
We talk about creativity being seasonal as mentioned in Keep Going by Austin Kleon, and approaching the page with ‘curious optimism’ as said by Charlotte Wood in The Luminous Solution.
We also mention the poem, Instructions on Not Giving Up, by Ada Limón.
