Episode 336: Editing Panic, Climax Problems & One...

New Author Podcast ·

2025/11/18

Episode 336 is basically a masterclass in how two writers can have wildly different weeks. Jerry opens the show by spotting something… unsettling… in his Amish neighbor’s window (because of course he does), but quickly shifts into his ongoing battle with the Great Read-Aloud Edit. He missed his chapter goal by one, panicked about his December 14 deadline, and discovered that Past Jerry was not the writer Present Jerry wishes he were. On the plus side, he’s halfway through writing the Book 2 climax

2025/11/11

Jerry has officially entered the “reading out loud to himself in a conference room” stage of editing Book 2—also known as the part where co-workers start to worry. He’s doing a final pass, adding words he swears he’s cutting, and preparing to hand it to his editor like a child presenting macaroni art and saying, “Look. I made novel.”Meanwhile, Rich hit 200,000+ words for the year, which means he’s either writing a thriller or slowly typing the same sentence over and over like The Shining. ("All

Jerry and Rich are back with another jam-packed week of writing talk, fantasy football updates, and a little DIY author branding gone mildly sideways.Jerry kicks things off with his latest fantasy football saga—three leagues, high stakes, and one borrowed draft strategy that’s paying off big. Then it’s on to the writing life: he’s now written or plotted eleven books and novellas across the Sam Norris Murder Mystery series, topping 355,000 words in two years.

Jerry rushes home for a rare role-reversal Monday and reports a big week: he blew past the halfway mark on Book 2’s edit (now at 24/41 chapters, ~82.3k words), fixed a gnarly continuity slip in Ch. 23, and pushed his custom Story Bible + Plotting app into a usable groove—complete with highlight-to-add entries. He also tests Spotify as a podcast app, dreams up QR-code golf balls for book promos, and eyes a new (maybe too social?) writers’ group.Rich introduces Marlowe Bennett, lead of his new

2025/10/23

Jerry and Rich dig into craft and momentum this week. Jerry radically rewrites Chapter 1—cutting 1,356 words to “start in the action” at the will-reading—and shares how he’ll weave those cut beats back in through interviews with conflicting POVs. He also fixes a key scene using spatial sequence synesthesia (SSS) the right way and talks golf, APBA football, and why “body at the end of Ch. 2” now lands faster.Rich is ~75% through his Snowflake-to-scenes outline (≈45 scenes) for Novel November,

Rich maps his Novel November thriller with the Snowflake Method (logline locked, 45 scene summaries drafted).
