TB is exhausted, mostly because she’s in full launch mode of her latest Lizzie novel and getting a book over the finish line wears her out, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Also, the world is continuing to fall apart. It’s hard to stay focused, but TB is nearly done with the cowrite with Miranda MacLeod. She’s going to miss the daily video calls to discuss plotting, because lockdown life is getting to TB. She’s so bored.
Clare has launched Hot London Nights! And, for her London series fans, Clare has started outlining London 8. So much London goodness it’s difficult not to pass out. In more fantastic news, the tea cake shortage has come to an end. Also, shocking the heck out of TB, Clare, who isn’t exactly a historical drama fan, finished all 4 seasons of The Crown. Now, she needs some suggestions for something to watch. She’s hoping for rom-coms and won’t listen to TB’s WWII recommendations, even ones with Winston Churchill. It’s like Clare is on a mission to rip out tiny pieces of TB’s heart.
They move on to the main subject: what you should look out for in your final print proof. TB, though, didn’t understand the topic and prepared talking points for the final book edit, so this episode is a twofer. They both share their to-dos, so get your pens ready to take notes. The most important thing to remember is no book is perfect. If you strive for perfection, you’ll never hit the publish button.
What are your final steps before publishing?

Next week is their 100th episode, and they’ll be discussing the difference between rom-coms and romance.
Happy listening!
Clare and TB

TB Lady Gray would obviously dominate Baby Yoda but once he takes a knee they will peacefully coexist. My bestie got me a Baby Yoda bobble head that my cat Sophie enjoys dominating 😃
