Want to write a 90k-word novel? If you've got 46 days (the length of Lent) Tiffany will tell you how to do it. This year during the period of Lent, Tiffany came up with the crazy idea to draft her next novel by Easter. That meant writing nearly 2000 words per day and, if that weren't challenging enough, schools in Italy closed halfway through! In this mini-episode, Tiffany shares her tips for completing such a massive project in such a short amount of time, as well as why you might want to attempt a project like this, because believe it or not, speed writing comes with a slew of unexpected benefits. ------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.
