Fantasy authors feel obligated to write giant books in never ending series. Trilogies composed of 800-page tomes litter store shelves. In the days of yore, this was a good thing. Now, with attention spans dwindling, authors are failing to meet the needs of their readers. Lee Patton seeks to impact fantasy by returning to the serial and standalone models that drove 20th century pulp fiction. His debut novella, A Valley of Shadow, is a searing introduction into the realm of short books. In this talk, he enlightens us on how he did it.

All too often we get caught up in the idea perfection. Oh no! My first draft is riddled with errors, I need to go back and... we've all been there. Sometimes the pursuit of perfection is a worthy goal, other times it stands in the way of finishing your project. In this episode of the Morning Edit, author C.D. Jensen and I discuss the role of perfectionism in our creative lives and how we can use it and when to let it go.

Good morning fellow writers and welcome to the Morning Edit. Today we discuss my version of the Crop Rotation method of writing project management. If you are overwhelmed by myriad ideas, have a hard time staying motivated, and want to make progress on multiple projects—this is the method for you.
