The One-Drink Book Club is an informal, (almost) weekly series in which fellow author Emma Lee Jayne joins me and our other creative friends to talk about the life, business, and art of writing and making books … for the duration of one Friday-afternoon drink.
Here’s what we talked about in this episode:
We each gave updates to last month’s writer’s block quagmire, talking about how each of us has chosen to address our individual issues — Emma by stepping back to organize the pieces and me by “getting the band back together” with Sean Platt.
After Emma talked about all the paperbacks she used to have of her books in a zillion different translated languages, we discussed how myopic the indie author community tends to be, focusing only on a tiny slice from the big pie of all readers … and how if we just expand our thinking, we see abundance rather than the usual “the sky is falling” sentiments so common in our profession.
After describing how hard I tried to get scammed by a fake comic con organizer, I talked a bit about finding real comic cons and stepping into those waters as an author instead.
