As a photographer and avid reader, she carries a laptop, book, and camera with her wherever she goes. Growing up, she wanted to be a magician, international spy, and mad scientist. There’s still time! She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her pilot-husband, Len, where she enjoys yoga, bicycling, and camping. She loves to travel and take walks—long walks! She walked across Scotland, a 211-mile journey from the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. At the mid-point, she climbed Ben Nevis, the highest point in the British Isles.</p> <p>You can find her on her <a href= "https://www.lauriebuchanan.com/">website</a> or follow her on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TuesWithLaurie">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/TuesWithLaurie">Twitter</a>, and <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/lauriebuchanan.author/">Instagram</a>.</p> <p> </p> <h3 dir="ltr">In this episode Laurie Buchanan and Lori discuss:</h3> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The nuances of writing respectfully outside of your own experience.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Pantsing through an eight book series.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Maintaining a character’s story arc across multiple manuscripts.</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong> </strong></p> <h4 dir="ltr"><em>Plus, her #1 tip for writers.</em></h4> <p>For more info and show notes: <a href= "https://diymfa.com/podcast/episode-453-laurie-buchanan" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">diymfa.com/453</a></p>
