Two Hosts Back in the Chair, Book 2 Gets the Knife | The New Author Podcast Ep 344

Rich returns after time away handling family matters, and the rhythm of the show falls right back into place: writing updates, real revision talk, and the messy middle of turning a draft into something readable. Jerry dives into a major Book 2 overhaul—cutting thousands of words, consolidating split chapters, tightening the opening, and fixing spots where the story relied a little too much on convenience. The word count drops. The structure shifts. The editor’s notes hit hard. And somehow the book gets stronger because of it. They also talk about why so many writers stall after finishing a first draft, how editing feels like a completely different skill set, and why setting a real deadline changes everything.
