b'This the third in our series of retrospective episodes. The most important thing Dan learned this year? Being a full-time author is a lot different than he thought it would be.
\\n
\\nHow different? What was Dan expecting? Was he really imagining silk pajamas and a notebook computer on the beach? We talk about the types of non-writing work that we\'ve found ourselves doing, and why those things are so important to us and to our careers. We discuss how our publishers\' schedules impact our own, and why writers are often expected to drop whatever they\'re doing in order to handle something for their publisher.
\\n
\\nDuring our discussion we mention a new local novelist Aprilynne Pike, whose debut book Wings is available now, and made #6 on the NYT Bestsellers List for Children\'s Chapter Books.
\\n
\\nEpisode 32 has been brought to you by "A Snack." But hurry! We don\'t pause for long!
\\n
\\nWriting Prompt: Write the first page of a story, stop, write a first page of a different story and then go back and finish the first story.\\n\\nOur Sponsors:\\n* Check out Factor 75 and use our code wx50 for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com/ \\n\\nSupport this podcast at \\u2014 https://redcircle.com/writing-excuses2130/exclusive-content\\n\\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands'
