"...Dictating helps me get to the emotional level of my characters a little easier than if I was handwriting or typing on my laptop. It's just for me, dictation takes away a little bit of a barrier..."
Heidi McCahan had an interesting path to becoming a Harlequin author and found a smart way to create leverage in writing multiple books a year - dictation. She utilized dictation for her latest release, One Southern Summer, and chats basics of dictation to finish your draft.
We discuss Heidi's writing process and a dictation course that she put together; plus, tips and tricks to get your story on the page faster.
