This week on LDK, we have a wonderful time talking with Laura VanArendonk Baugh (try saying that three times fast!) We managed to get a few details about ancient Japanese culture, of which, Laura seems to be a near-expert on.
In Episode 40
We nearly kill Aaron with Laura's response to plotting problems. Laura definitely had us in stitches with this one. We talk Scrivener, which we're delighted to find she makes use of it, though not 100% of the time. Laura's winning editing process. Laura's reasons for eating chocolate! Training your subconscious. The non-coffee-drinking writers! Crazy research--and how it's paid off in Laura's life! (And don't Google search the one thing she mentions!) Some of Laura's marketing techniques (hint: a lot of it has to do with personality!)
