OK... where was I? Oh yes.... we've got a fantastic guest... Libbie Hawker. Writer of lots of historical fiction and lit fic... as well as "Take off Your Pants."
When it comes to writing guides, Take off Your Pants is a modern classic. It's a method that gives writers a scaffold to outline a great story, without necessarily nailing down all the plot points in your book. So it can work for plotters and even for pantsters! Designed to help you write your book more quickly and efficiently and make sure you end up with a really well considered, satisfying story.
So you'll definitely want to listen. In fact, probably stop reading this and crack on if I were you.
Actually before you stop reading, you might also like to know, we're revealing our writing goals for the rest of the year, as well as yours too!
