Hey everybody, this is Sophie and welcome to a bonus series of the big

bootcasts that Melanie and I are calling five questions. In this bonus series, we

are talking to some of our writer friends and to friends who are connected in some way

to our writing lives. These are conversations that we've wanted to have for years but have

just had a hard time fitting into our regular episodes. So, after last week's conversation

with Erin Mann, this week we're talking to our friend Laura Tremaine. Laura grew up in

Oklahoma, she currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and her kids, and after a lot

of years at blogging at Hollywood Housewife, Laura started to podcast several years ago.

Her current podcast is called Tim Things to Tell You. It's fantastic. And she just published

her first book, which is called Share Your Stuff. I'll go first. So, we wanted to talk

to Laura about her long time dream of becoming a published author and how it has recently

become a reality. And we're so excited to talk to her about her creative process and

everything she's learned along the way. So, we hope you all enjoy this week's installment

of The Big Big Cast Five Questions with Laura Tremaine.

so fun to chat with you. I've listened to you for years and years and years. So, thank

you for asking me to come talk about writing and publishing. Well, and I feel like you're

one of those online people that like you're a friend that I haven't met in person yet.

You know what I mean? There's somebody that you've been following for so long where I'm

like, how if we not met in person because it feels like we should have? Same, but I have

met Sophie a few times, but most notably, we had the best time as the very first ever guests
