Or am I, you know, let's say I'm stuck in that author's perspective.

So I know everything that's going to happen in the future. I know everything that's happened in the past.

And because of that, I'm just feeling stuck on what this character would do in the moment or things like that.

So if you're feeling that in a scene and you realize you're stuck in the author's perspective, you can be consciously aware of that and say,

Welcome to the Fiction Writing Made Easy Podcast.

My name is Savannah Gilboe and I'm here to help you write a story that works. I want to prove to you that writing a novel doesn't have to be overwhelming.

So each week I'll bring you a brand new episode with simple, actionable, and step-by-step strategies that you can implement in

your writing right away.

So whether you're brand new to writing or more of a seasoned author looking to improve your

craft, this podcast is for you.

So pick up a pen and let's get started.

In today's episode, I have something really fun to share with you.

I asked a handful of my peers to send me a voice note with their

favorite writing tip and I gathered them all up for today's episode.

You're going to hear from Emily Golden, Daniel David Wallace, Nicole Meyer,

Abigail K Perry, and myself, because I couldn't resist throwing my own

tip into the mix.

But seriously, you're in for a treat because many of these tips are born from personal

experience and every single one of them is juicy and super helpful.
