16 | Novelist Laurie Frankel: Can you Love Putting your Work out As Much As Creating It?

Create Out Loud With Jennifer Louden

Isn't it wonderful to hear widely celebrated NYT's best-selling novelists talk about shitty first drafts? Laurie's acclaimed new bestseller One Two Three "wrote hard," for her, and that's OK! For Laurie, the joy comes in the process, whether it's easy, hard, smooth, bumpy, or annoying - that complicated cocktail is what makes the creative process beautiful.

And Laurie gets candid about the other side: PUBLISHING. Sometimes "Creating Out Loud," isn't our first instinct, but it's all apart of what we do as artists. In this conversation, Jen and Laurie also discuss:

- Laurie's passion for creative inclusion

- Fiction v. non-fiction storytelling

- The "Prestige" of "literature v. fiction"

- How and why we should study our craft

- Navigating the world of a transgender child

- Being a story savant
