So, Callan, imagine a movie comes out called Bird by Bird.

I'm going to say genre, and you tell me the plot of that movie.

Great.

Bird by Bird, the horror movie.

It's the birds, but they just come one at a time.

You can tell they only had the budget for one bird, and they had to dress it up a little different each time.

Hey everyone. So today we cover a writing book about taking things one at a time. It's called

Bird by Bird. And Kellan, the only trouble is if you write a sequel, now you got to pick a cooler

animal. For sure, platypus by platypus. And this is the book pile. A podcast about the best

of books and the worst of books. If this is your

first time to the podcast, welcome. And maybe suggest checking out our back catalog of over 200

episodes with as many books covering fiction and nonfiction from Shakespeare to all the

Harry Potter books to a third of the Hunger Games or a fourth if you count prequel. Stop correcting me.

The first one is the only good one anyway. I'm Kellanerska and I'm a comic, a father,

and I think that if you love birds but you keep one in a cage, you just love control.

Like I don't, I don't stop any birds from flying so I think that that means

I love birds more than you. Do you eat chicken? I love birds. If it weren't for the

demand, those birds wouldn't have even been factored into existence.

So I'm promoting life.

All right, as usual, feel free to subscribe to the podcast so you don't have to download it manually every single week.
