Welcome to Writing the Books! Jennie and KJ are pushing each other as Jennie works on her toughest non-fiction project yet and KJ levels up her next novel. This week we’re talking about how Jennie started binge-writing and KJ’s search for a way back into her story.
These are deeply personal conversations. To hear the whole thing, read a transcript and join us in the comments, you’ll need to join Stickers, our paid subscription tier.

Jennie hired a book coach and is killing it, and she has theories on why. KJ’s wandering in the wilderness, and she’s got theories—that border on concrete plans—for getting back on track, and we gave one another (and listeners) a fun assignment for next week, because we both read books that hit us hard and made us want to do that thing… but why, and also how?
