We share our favorite advice for writers and why it impacted our own writing journeys. Emily shares a lesson from Brandon Sanderson that shifted her mindset so she could write freely, while Jon Meyers uses a lesson in cheesemaking to explain his favorite tip for getting details right.
RESPONSES
We heard from our friend Morgan Stevens, whose log-line reminded Jon Meyers of a poem by our poet laureate, Ada Limón.
BIG IDEA
Emily's favorite lesson comes from Brandon Sanderson's talk on "The Common Lie Writers Tell You," where you also get to see his adorable parrot, Dragon, use "the force."
We are very grateful to Nikki Roof, Jon Meyers' "fromager," or "cheese woman," who shared the process of making gouda!
