Joanna writes nonfiction for authors and is an award-nominated, bestselling thriller author as J.F. Penn. She\u2019s also an award-winning podcaster and creative entrepreneur.   In the Creative Penn podcast \u201cDiscovery Writing And Sustaining A Long-Term Writing Career With Patricia McLinn,\u201d they discussed discovery writing (a.k.a. pantsing), how to write a novel with structure if you don\u2019t plot in advance, and building a writing career for the long-term. In this Authors Love Readers \u201cContinuation\u201d episode, Patricia reflects on her interview with Joanna about the current trends and the future of the publishing industry, shares more tips for writers, and talks about why she wrote Survival Kit for Writers Who Don\u2019t Write Right. In Patricia\u2019s words: \u201cI wanted to write the book to encourage writers who don\u2019t write 'right' to respect their process, test it against reality, but not to throw it away. You\u2019re given this ability (at least this is the way I feel). I\u2019ve been given this ability and this is the way the stories come to me and I am not going to turn my back on that. I\u2019m not going to refuse those gifts.\u201d [39:15] For a full Authors Love Readers interview with Patricia and Joanna, check out Episode 54: You Have to First Be a Reader, with J.F. Penn.
