I interviewed Nick Anthony a year or so ago\xa0about his experience writing a first novel and getting parts of it work-shopped. Today I catch up with him to find out what he\u2019s been doing and where he\u2019s at now on the road to getting his first book published.
We talk about, among other things, how AI has helped him in the writing process; subjective and objective readers; the difference between screen writing and novel writing;\xa0Noam Chomsky on plagiarism; Elon Musk on Harry Potter; chess; photography; Joyce\u2019s\xa0Ulysses; Marcel Proust writing about me going to the corner store to buy a bag of milk; and more.
The \u201cJosh\u201d I reference towards the end of the conversation is\xa0Josh Dolezal, who was a recent guest on\xa0The Biblio File\xa0podcast. He talked about, among other things, the experience of trying to find a literary agent.
