Andi and Lise get a little personal and talk shop about their respective writing processes. Both write spec fic, though Andi also writes romance and mysteries, and those genres take a different approach. They discuss how they approach different projects, what kind of preparation they do, multitasking different projects or not, outlines or not, and tools of the trade. They also talk about how writing influences how they watch, read, and analyze other creators’ work.
Writing platforms they talked a bit about:
Word
Scrivener
Notebooks (as in actual paper!) both use for project
notes/character sketches/plots/timelines:
Moleskine
Link to a bunch of different
notebooks (Andi uses several different kinds, usually
plain-covered or something with a skull on the cover…lol)
Andi and Lise both recommend doing NaNoWriMo—National Novel
Writing Month, which is every November. 50,000 words in a month is
what NNWM is about. Try it! Great community, great fun!
NaNoWriMo

And finally, Andi geeked out about the start of the final (sob) season of Killjoys. Lise got raved about the excitement of She-Ra’s third season.
