Episode 3: What Everyone’s Talking About & The Importance of Planning

A big story (at least as big as it gets in the self-publishing world) broke this week, and it seemed everyone was talking about it — everyone, that is, except for us. Here we remedy that situation with a whole segment dedicaed to that very topic. Am I being vague on purpose? Possibly.

Okay, I’ll give you a hint: it has to do with self-publishing eBooks and a little company by the name of Barnes & Noble.

Plus, the importance of planning before writing (beyond planning of the outlining type), praise for Catherine Ryan Howard (and her new book “Mousetrapped”), the unveiling of a new character generator and our last LOST Moment of the Week — all this week on the Duolit Podcast!
