Nat and Nathan dive deep into the intense process of writing a novel draft in just one month. Drawing from Nat's recent experience writing his novel "Husk" at a pace of 5,000 words per day, they explore the practical challenges, strategies, and trade-offs of rapid drafting. The conversation covers everything from daily routines and word count tracking to the importance of detailed outlining before starting a sprint.
They also discuss recent developments in their publishing journeys, including Nathan's promising connections with industry professionals and Nat's progress with cover design and editing deadlines. They tackle the controversy surrounding NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and debate the sustainability of different writing paces, from traditional approaches to the aggressive schedules of indie authors publishing monthly.
