About this listen
The heart of this bonus episode is writing craft and writer mental health. Dan breaks down why it wasn’t “writer’s block” so much as an emotional block, what it feels like to stare at the page and produce nothing but an ellipsis, and how he rebuilt momentum with a routine, a weekly word-count goal, and permission to skip ahead to the scenes that actually matter. We also swap notes on writing books that help, revision realities, and the long game of finishing a zombie novel without hating what you make.
We talk about coping in a nonstop political news cycle, why social media can turn into both therapy and trauma, and how roasting trolls on Threads becomes a pressure release when everything feels unreal. We also highlight a creator we’ve been following who baits bad-faith DMs into accidental lessons on history and feminism.
