We’re changing things up and talking about bad books today! More specifically, we discuss when and why you might give up on a book before finishing. How far do you read a bad book before dumping it? What pushed you over the edge and made you trash it? We also talk about how writers can get and keep readers interested in their books so they don’t find their novels tossed into filthy garbage cans.
But before all that noise, Caleb regales us with a recap of his weekend trip to the Virginia mountains and the beach.

#76: Terrible Writing Advice You Should Ignore – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast
This is a wonderful episode! We start off by discussing the problems with the introductions at the beginning of books. Then we get into a list of terrible writing advice and why we think the tips are so terrible. We also talk about certain Twitter writing drama, the Nobel Prize in Literature, and even briefly discuss the history of language in modern Japan and how it and their culture correlates to a specific writing style.
