This is such a good episode. I took the Novel Generator class with @jenniferclose through @CatapultStory last year, and she is one of the best writing teachers I’ve ever worked with. Can’t wait to dive into MARRYING THE KETCHUPS! https://twitter.com/tsnotyaw/status/1519641526456004608

Just had a real “Carrie” moment (2 unrelated ideas combined in my mind in an unexpected way like Stephen King reading about telekinesis + puberty and then years later seeing a tampon dispenser while cleaning a locker room and having the first scene of Carrie appear in his head)

@angrymobdc That’s definitely something I touch on in my Modern Comic Lit class, balancing grounded emotion with comedic action—good idea for a stand alone class! I think Made for Love (fiction) by Alissa Nutting and Priestdaddy (memoir) by Patricia Lockwood are great at this

Read "Interior Chinatown" by @charles_yu and "Several People are Typing" by @cjkasulke this week—I love novels written in unexpected forms! These two were written as a screenplay and Slack messages, respectively. Anyone have other recs for me in this particular style?

@GraceGFreud A classic, "The Stranger Beside Me" by Ann Rule about working with Ted Bundy while writing true crime books...including about the murders he was committing at the time. Chilling and impossible to put down. https://t.co/MFsp6Lrq8q

I've added another section of my Reading Modern Comic Lit as Writers class @CatapultStory! This one is every other Wednesday, starting 3/16, from 1-3pm ET (good for freelancers, people not on a 9-5 schedule, or if you can get away). I love these books! https://t.co/aBn6dxMRZK
