First Cup of Coffee – April 14, 2025

Jeffe Kennedy / April 14, 2025 / Blog, Podcast

All about Apollycon and how I finished A ROSE IN THE MIRROR on the plane and working in the atrium on site. I had a great time at the event and got to fangirl and hang with some of my longtime author idols.

Regarding manuscript length and (seriously) what traditional publishing does and does not require, but signs that a book is really too long. (See pacing.) Also knowing when rewriting is FAR better than revising, and new earrings!

How being a career creative is an ongoing process of discovering how we work and create, and why – if you’re an intuitive writer like I am – you might need to write from a character’s POV to understand them.

Jeffe Kennedy / March 3, 2025 / Blog, Podcast

Thoughts on story, character, agenda – what is the story trying to do? What do WE want to do as creators? Also, is using someone else’s characters and world “cheating”? Does filing off the serial numbers transform a work?
