The Launch Box 4: Gifts, Ifs, and Shifts
In this episode of The Launch Box, Andrew and I discuss the mysteries of professional gift-giving, how to balance big-picture career thinking with getting the writing done, the possibilities of being a weekend novelist, and EVENTS. Also, Sara gets a review and Andrew answers the TCL two questions. Plus so much more.
I forgot to mark times to make an index. Sorry, you’ll just have to listen to the whole thing! It’ll be worth it. Find it wherever you get podcasts, or listen directly here.
It doesn’t look like there will be a new classic format episode before the end of the year, because there are only so many hours in the day and also I’m trying to get something resembling a holiday rest. I did put out 18 new eps in 2021 plus the 10 subscriber-only eps in the Annotated Courageous Creativity series, which kind of surprised me when I added it all up. No wonder I’m tired! If you’ve enjoyed those and would like to support the pod, find out how here.

P.S. I attended a Franzen event in which no one smiled. Are genre and kidlit writers more fun than literary men? Probably. Do we resent that expectation, though? Maybe. Andrew and I discuss it briefly in the ep.
Thanks so much for being out there this year to lend an ear and complete the circle.
How did your writing go in 2021? What do you want to do in 2022?
