"We are sort of drinking from a fire hose of content right now. And it makes me wonder, because I feel like I'm stuck on this wheel that I have to produce all the time. Do I even want to write for money anymore? I don't know," says Cassidy Randall, author of the book Thirty Below, and back for her second Atavist story "The Longest Journey."
Writing is in her bones, so she's not quitting, but the freelance production wheel is tough.
We talk about:
- The productivity wheel
- Earning trust for stories
- Constructing a headline and subhead to focus a story
- And how best to immerse readers in a story
