Brad's First Draft
I Take My Stakes Medium Rare (005)
Season 1, Ep. 5
•
Hi, I'm Brad Salomons... and this is My First Draft.
Brad just wrote the first draft of his first novel. Now put on your headphones and tune in for a winding trek on the trail of creativity, suspense, and inspiration as he embarks on a literary adventure to edit it and then try to get it published.
Politics, money, ecological activism. What makes some guy become the antagonist of the story? Stakes. And maybe a dash of things not going his way.
This is the one where Furiyo schemes and fumes.
