Ep.11 Writing a Novel in Nine Days, Writing 14 Hours in A Day and Not Going Crazy w/ Steve Windsor

This was the funniest podcast I’ve done so far. Steve Windsor is a fiction author and he’s a writing monster! I’ve never heard of someone who can write so much in one sitting. Steve is so good he wrote a book called “Nine Day Novel” where he outlines how to write a novel in only nine days. I really appreciated his humor, levity and wisdom.

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.” Aly Tadros has made bringing out what’s inside her a daily practice, and she routinely writes what scares her, and has become a prolific songwriter after being inspired to do what she loved by Tucker Max seven years ago.

Art of Podcast Hosting [3 min]

dtplogo400

This is an “in between-isode”. I got the idea from Tim Ferriss and it’s a way for me to share an idea in a quick session, usually no longer than 10 minutes. This is about the art of podcast hosting, some of the mistakes I see people make and how to jam with your guest versus just listen.
