We're trying something a little different for this After Dark: a get-to-know-us episode. We've been talking zines all month, so it felt right that we get together and talk about our lives as writers. We answer the age old questions like Pantser or Plotter, do you worldbuild extensively or wing it, and why is writing so hard? We get into some less traditional topics as well, like whether we'd prefer to be a Nobel winner or a New York Times' bestselling author, and can you want people to like your writing without being a narcissist? All this and more on our After Dark deep dive.

MENTIONS

Burnout by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski
The Faithful Executioner by Joel F. Harrington
