In this solo pod, Ted talks about the challenges—both external and internal—that come with navigating the months in between when you submit your final manuscript and when the book actually comes out. For him (and many others), that task is complicated by the anxious and depressive intrusions that come with just living life in general.
He goes on to discuss how one of his most effective strategies for managing these feelings is to get started on a new project, the ability to get words down on the page offering a degree of control in an otherwise largely uncontrollable process. It’s only fitting, then, that he shares the very beginning stages of his own new work in progress, a novel where he plans to play with dual timelines (sort of).
Working Drafts episodes and info for requesting transcripts as well as more details about Ted and his books are available on his website, thetedfox.com.
