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.
Today, Emma drank a gin and tonic with a splash of cranberry, Mike (new to the ODBC, standing in for Bill) poured himself a vodka tonic without a twist, and I had a glass of Freakshow Zinfandel.
Here’s what we talked about in this episode:
Mike prompted Emma and I with a question: Do writers get creative when they want to decompress like non-writers?
I got a bunch of newly-printed hardback books in the mail and showed off the details that make them special and the excitement that makes me want to do more and more.
My further plans for “making beautiful books” going forward.
Emma’s new “Writing and Taylor Swift” podcast is coming soon, following a hostel-chaos and illness incident.
My plans to form stronger bonds with my cherished readers …
… which rolled into me gushing about my True Fandom of Bob Schneider and his new audio waveform art …
… which led to a really cool discussion of our philosophies on what fans want most, and how we can best give them.
We ended by acknowledging the excellent noises of Mike’s dog Freddy, who sounds like Chewbacca.
