First Cup of Coffee – September 30, 2024

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog, Podcast

On celebrating and taking a break, and I’m sharing some great new endorsement quotes for NEVER THE ROSES! Also, internalized misogyny, Taylor Swift & Blake Lively, and why I’m shifting away from search engines and back to bookmarking websites like it’s 2004.

And yes, I realize I said “Age of Adaline” when I meant “It Ends with Us.” I watched both. I got confused. *sigh*

Author branding for the long game, being original instead of trying to draft off of someone else’s success, authors using gimmicks to get attention, and the audacity of a woman failing to laugh at a man’s joke.

Yes, I saw the Taylor Swift concert movie last night! Loved. Thoughts on TS and voice. Also, a trick for coping with those inertia-filled tasks that forever slide down the To Do List and remembering we’re not being graded.

The importance of voice, refining it, learning how to get it on the page, how dismissing something like the 3-Act Structure as formulaic is missing the point of storytelling entirely, and why (again) I’m not worried about AI.
