Host Jonathan Small talks to actress, author, and writing instructor, Tempany Deckert. A former Australian soap opera star, Tempany now writes YA books and teaches the widely popular course — Write a Novel in 10 Weeks at UCLA Extension.
Tempany has developed a motivating, fun, and rigorous system for cutting through writer's block and getting that book you've always wanted to write done quickly and thoughtfully. It's the same, self-taught technique that she's used to pen her own 18 published novels.
In the pod, she breaks it down for us step-by-step, sharing the exercises and practices she uses herself and with her students. If you're writing a novel or just thinking about it, Tempany will give you all the tools and inspiration you need to get from prologue to epilogue — in less time than it takes to go through a bottle of shampoo.
