What if that feeling of revision overwhelm is hiding your creativity kryptonite—and staring it straight in the face is what finally makes you invincible? (🐐 Or at least slightly less likely to delete your entire manuscript and take up goat herding.)
In this episode, I tackle the craft problem of making my haunting subplot actually feel haunted, with special guest The Haunting of Hill House. 👻 I unpack why “make the haunting better” is a useless task and how to not suck at revisions.
We’ll also meet the Fuck It, Let’s Quit part of my psyche and explore how the busted stove from my childhood is the key to figuring out seemingly unfigureoutable shit.
