If you're listening to this podcast, you probably think your writing sucks. And here's there honest truth--you're right and you're wrong. Join me as I put my English degree to use and analyze the first fantasy novel I wrote when I was fourteen, using that text to pull out relevant advice to help you improve your writing. Basically, I read my old cringey writing to make you feel better about yours! Want to connect with me? Check out my Instagram @makennajmyerswrites

<p>In this episode, I read the epilogue from the original draft of Starchild as well as multiple scenes from a second (and wildly different!) draft that I wrote in college to illustrate how complete the revision process can be. And I remind you to be proud of yourself—because it’s true! </p>

<p>In Part Nine, Ruby finds herself at the center of a high-stakes intergalactic conflict. The most pretentious, angsty-boy villain I’ve ever seen in fiction makes an appearance, sacrifices are made, and Ruby and Fiora are forced to say goodbye. I talk about how Starchild has never been Ruby’s story, some really irritating plot holes, and, despite it all, how much I love Ruby and Fiora’s friendship.</p>

<p>Part Eight is explosive, to say it lightly (catastrophic to say it less lightly). Somehow, at the exact same moment, a mysterious spaceship crashes onto the Lorencip’s property and Ruby’s dad comes home after his (ambiguously long) absence. Seventeen year old me attempts to manage this emotional fall out to a varying degree of success. I discuss how bizarre Ruby’s parents are as characters, how seventeen year old me keeps skirting away from any scenes with emotional resonance, and the importance of saying less. </p>
