20.42: Erin Roberts’ Personal Writing Process

Erin describes her own writing process as, “a bunch of random practices thrown into a bag and shaken up." Nevertheless, for today’s episode, Erin managed to organize her processes into four categories: getting work, getting in, getting done, getting right. Listen as Erin gives us tips and tricks for freelancing, deadlines, and saying no.

Homework: Write down all the tips and tricks you’ve learned about your own personal writing process on a single page.
