Episode 102: Janell Strube

Author Janell Strube may also work as a tax accountant but her extensive use of spreadsheets made writing much easier. In this episode of The Written Scene, Janell talks about the writing lessons learned from going down rabbit holes, being the kid with their nose in the book instead of playing, viewing writing as feeding and nourishing people, the power of realizing and also believing you're a writer, having a day job that competes with time to write, zooming out to see just how much we've written over time, volunteering within a writer community and how that benefits us, developing thick skin through critique groups, using objects to tell a story, having a specific office just for writing, the lesson of less is more when writing a love scene, why bookstores survive in a digital world, and much more.
