In this seventh episode of the AUThor Podcast, I take a deep dive into my author journey. How did I learn how to write novels? What drove me to start telling stories and putting words on paper?

I then move into a hilarious medical product for flushing toilets when the water supply isn't working. There's a poor nurse who posed with the product in a hospital hallway and that picture is used for marketing. I'm sure it's not her dream job.

If you want to learn how to write a novel, follow my podcast and see how I did it. Scrivener, Vellum, and Atticus are my primary tools I use. ISBD from Bowker. Hire a proofreader and a cover designer, and get to work!

But first, watch the Master class done by @jamesscottbell and read his books on writing. Then start listening to the Essential Guide to Writing a Novel podcast on Spotify by James Thayer.

Beta reader teams are important, as it someone who knows a good story and can tell you what didn't work. If it's a family member, make sure they can be honest and not hurt your feelings.

I also told a story of when we had a water leak in our new home during an ice storm that included loss of power.
