RERELEASE! Letting Go of What You Can't Control
In this episode, I talk to Christina Consolino about her most recent novel, The Weight We Carry.
We discuss:
- NaNoWriMo
- Prioritizing writing
- The oozing guts of dead things
- Controlling what you can and letting go of what you can't
- The idea that not all characters are capable of substantial change
- Publishing with a small, independent press
- Trusting your book will find an audience
