Jim Thayer’s Podcast on Novel Writing

This podcast isa goldmine for anyone serious about the craft. Thayer doesn’t just talk theory—he breaks down structure, pacing, character, and style in ways that make you want to go straight back to the page and apply what you’ve learned.

One takeaway that stuck with me: clarity and momentum matter more than ornament. Readers should never struggle to understand your meaning, and every sentence should keep them turning the page.

Whether you’re outlining your first novel or revising your tenth, Thayer’s insights remind us that writing is both an art and a discipline.

🎧 Highly recommend giving it a listen if you want to sharpen your storytelling tools. Here’s a link:
