On this episode of Writers Behaving Badly: We are winning, we are writing and we are getting valid and excellent advice from Australian author Nina Kenwood.
Tea is a dish best served piping hot and we’ve got that this month, and the Write Advice sees Lisa and Nina chat about all things writing, including why we write what we write, accountability and finishing your actual novel (I know, who knew?).
Segments Inside:
✍️ Sins & Wins Winner winner
📚 The Write Advice The best advice for getting published is actually finishing your book, but having some good people to keep you accountable is the best way to get there.
☕️ Tea Time Are you bound to the reader promise you made, even if you no longer wish to still have certain ✨ scenes ✨ in your book? We cover this in tea this month.
📚 Book Bites What we’ve been reading this month: People Skills by Nina Kenwood, Things I Need You To Know by Mark Lamprell, An Academic Affair by Jodi McAlister, Cherry Baby by Rainbow Rowell and The Children by Melissa Albert.
