This is an enjoyable listen that touches on lots of insightful ideas that all new writers (like me) need to hear. Not highly technical, but frankly, you can get that elsewhere. I listened while I took my daily walk and really enjoyed it. Thanks, Nathan!

When editing
hating your novel does not make your self editing any better, thats ridiculis. Id agree with Nathan if he said that that works with some people, but he profiled all writers in that hating their novel with make you edit it better. thats just superstition, theres no evidence of this just hear say.
