When Your Inspiration Fades & Why Dark Stories Matter With Megan Shepherd

When Your Inspiration Fades & Why Dark Stories Matter With Megan Shepherd

2018-09-03
Download

Today’s guest is Megan Shepherd, author of THE MADMAN’S DAUGHTER trilogy, THE CAGE Trilogy, THE SECRET HORSES OF BRIAR HILL and THE GRIM LOVELIES. Megan joined me to talk about her process, and how the spark of an idea can sometimes get lost during the execution. Also covered: writing trilogies versus standalones, and why dark stories appeal to us.
