Writer Boredom & the Dread of Finishing with Sara Shukla and Nancy Crochiere

We hear from two writers today with very common writing issues. The first is trying to get over the “boredom” he hits at the midpoint. The second wants help with finishing (and overcoming the perfection that blocks her from being able to do so). We’ve got two authors helping us out. Nancy Crochiere is fresh off the launch of her award-winning debut novel, GRACELAND, and Sara Shukla will be launching her debut, PINK WHALES, in June.
