Programming note: there won’t be an episode on August 16, but the duo will return on August 23. TB hasn’t been up to much since she’s on vacation. She’s started reading her Brandon Sanderson novel (book 2 in the series) that weighs about 500 pounds, give or take. However, she learned there’s book 2.5 that she absolutely must have before starting book 3, which is also mammoth. TB is asking for listeners to recommend epic fantasy lesfic books. And, TB’s car buying saga continues… Clare is getting stuck in the next book she’s writing. She’s got a tight turnaround on this one, and she needs to get her head in the game. It’s hard, though, when also right in the midst of a new release. In big news, Clare won a Goldie for Before You Say I Do! Toot toot! Clare blows TB’s mind by mentioning fascinating things about The Champion pub, a place TB frequented when she lived in Bayswater. They move on to the main topic: second drafts. A listener asked the duo to do a deep dive into second drafts. TB struggles with the topic because her second drafts are more like first drafts for other writers, since her first drafts are probably technically considered detailed outlines. Clare, who happens to be right in the middle of a second draft, walks the listener through her process. In Clare’s words, second drafts are when a book really starts to come to life. How do you tackle second drafts? Got any tips? Head over to www.lesbianswhowrite.com, and leave a comment on the episode. Or you can email them at: lesbianswhowrite@gmail.com. Next week, they’ll be back to discuss the question, if you died tomorrow, what would you be most proud of? Happy listening! Clare and TB Links: Buy Us a Coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/LesWhoWrite
