First Drafts & Second Thoughts
by Kristy Carter
Every published book starts with a mess. It's a jumble of half-baked ideas, wrong turns, and moments of doubt. I'm Kristy Carter, and on this podcast, I pull back the curtain on that beautiful, chaotic process. I'll take you on a journey through the making of a book, one element at a time. We'll explore everything from building a character to crafting a plot, digging into the secrets of storytelling you won't find on a finished page. This isn't a show about polished prose. It's an honest conversation about the struggle and the triumph of writing. So whether you're a seasoned writer or a curious reader, join me as we learn to see the first drafts behind every published book and understand the second thoughts that make them great. New episodes every Saturday.
