Summary

Christmas is coming, and Liz and Sarah are determined to finish a first draft of their novel. But they’ve made a slight adjustment to their plan — since so much is changing, they’re going to leave the last third of the book in outline form until the next the draft. In Take A Hike, Sarah shares an idea that listener Laura discovered on TikTok — plan a 90 Day Dinner with friends when times are tough. In Hits & Bombs, Sarah gives listener Melissa a Hit for being Sarah’s salad tutor. And Liz gives herself a Bomb for not having finished Outlive by Dr. Peter Attia. This week’s Hollywood Hack will help clean up your inbox: go on an unsubscribe spree! Finally, Liz recommends a limited series — Candy on Hulu.
