We begin the episode with our opinions on the Freewrite, a distraction-free writing apparatus that is sort of like a keyboard with a Kindle attached. After that, we get into a great discussion on the importance of word choices.
We use multiple examples from the work of famous authors to show how and why being purposeful with your word choices is so damn important. We offer the simplicity of Jk Rowling's word choices aimed at children, how Stephen King's word choices build unique characters, why Hemingway's work cannot be changed, and we end things by explaining the madness of James Joyce's Ulysses.
