Without counting, I'd say this episode of ijustreadthisbook--the podcast has the most tangents yet. 'Yellowface' perfect novel for writers, authors, and readers. 'Yellowface' perfect recap from writers, author and readers for writers, authors and readers. Writing tip: take a sentence from a book, song, etc. to start; write off that sentence and when you get to the bottom of the page/paragraph, delete the first sentence. Writing tip: you do not have to write linear. Writing tips: embrace the journey, put on your blinders when/before the comparison monster strikes, and sharing is caring.
