Today’s episode is our monthly Craft Jam. This is a new feature at DIY MFA, where once a month, Lori and I will be jamming about the craft. In these episodes, we’ll be doing a deep dive into various craft topics like character development, story structure, world building, and more. This month’s episode is a deep dive into Draft Zero.

In this episode Lori and I discuss:

What exactly Draft Zero is and what comes next.

Finding a routine that works for you and how to keep it from getting stale.

Why you need to practice finishing and what to do when you get stuck.

Plus, our #1 reading recommendation on craft books.
