This week on the show, we're lacking Josh, but we have the wonderful Mary Ruth Pursselley on with us! Aaron and Liberty have trouble getting into a good rhythm without Josh, so there's a bit of back and forth as those two try to get going.
Mary Ruth is the author of epic fantasy novel, Song of the Wren Falcon, and a lover of hot tea.
In Episode 34:
Confessions of a full-on pantser! Chaotic first drafts and how they inform you in the future when you look back. Binge-watching My Little Pony. Having friends to help with problems in your book.

Mary Ruth's Earl Grey snobbery. ;) The crazy things Mary Ruth has Googled and her new favorite word. Mary Ruth's profound advice to new authors (not what you'd expect!)Links:
