Description

Jimmy Butts (@jimmy_butts) reads his chapter "The More Writing Process, The Better." (Don't miss the joke: the author of the chapter is disagreeing with the bad idea stated in the chapter's title.) It's a chapter from Bad Ideas about Writing, which was edited by Cheryl E. Ball (@s2ceball) and Drew M. Loewe (@drewloewe). Kyle Stedman (@kstedman) produces the show and will be back as narrator next week (I MEAN NEXT YEAR, WUUUT.)

Chapter keywords: getting things done, post-process, process, recursivity, revision

Jimmy Butts teaches writing and the teaching of writing to impressive, young humans. He likes to get them doing wonderfully weird things with words. He immensely enjoys finishing a draft. You can find him on Twitter @jimmy_butts or at http://theyellowrobot.com/. (2017 bio)
