This week on Writers Behaving Badly: Annie cries into her keyboard and calls it kink, Brooke rewrites her way out of despair, Lisa almost writes (Word is open!), and we all lose our minds over a listener’s first page. Also: AI in publishing—is it the end of craft as we know it?
What You’ll Learn:
How to craft a first page that grips and devastates
The emotional tools to write through chaos
Why great writing doesn’t need connections—just humanity
Whether AI is a shortcut or creative death spiral
Segments Inside:
✍️ Sins & WinsRewrites, rage, and resilience—plus a reminder that “almost writing” still counts.
🔥 Roast or ToastA listener delivers a mangy dog metaphor we won’t shut up about. Submission tip: raw truth + character voice = gold.
🙋♀️ Curly QuestionCan you get published without connections? Lisa shares the only “networking” that actually matters.
🍵 Tea Time RantGenerative AI in writing: we talk about it. Lisa would rather chew on a teabag than let a robot write her sentences, and honestly, fair.
