Amber Sparks

<p>Amber Sparks (AND I DO NOT FORGIVE YOU), author, employee, and mother, joins the Butheads to discuss boogers, what we thought writing while parenting would look like vs what it actually looks like, the endless pain of noveling, how loving your characters means you're doomed to see the thing through, why write a novel, as someone who primarily writes stories? working on multiple projects at once, living in DC during upheaval and pandemic, and more!</p> <p>Later, the Butheads talk about what they're reading (Alissa Nutting, Lauren Sandler, serial killer nonfiction, Sue Miller), giving up on reading a book you don't like, Alex reads from I Served the King of England and narcissist ass Lindsay reads from her novel, post-pandemic pipe dreams, what's a "crazy quilt" structure?!</p>
