Mark interviews author Brittany Fichter about writing happily ever after endings, clean romance, and taking the time to care for her readers.

Prior to the main content, Mark shares a personal update, thanks new patron James S. Aaron, and shares a word about this episode's sponsor.

In their conversation, Mark and Brittany talk about:

  • Writing clean, sweet, and wholesome romance
  • Living and writing with OCD, Tourettes and free-floating anxiety
  • The Writing Gals Podcast and their outline of the various levels of heat in romance fiction
  • How the outline for Brittany's last book was 50,000 words
  • The way that clean romances can still deal with heavy concepts and deep emotions
  • Writing fairy tales that are full fantasy, much like the darkness to light moment in The Lord of the Rings
  • Brittany's childhood love of fairy tales and her desire to what to know the characters beyond the tropes
  • Stephen King's writing prompt to write a story you'll never share with anyone, and how Brittany used that to write a story inspired by Beauty and The Beast that she published in 2015
  • Revising covers, and the fact her first book (Beyond Beauty) has gone through four covers already
  • Getting writing done with young children
  • Making YouTube music playlists for every book that she writes as a way of triggering her brain that it's time to write
  • The push that leads a lot of writers to writer burnout
  • The Happy Planner brand
  • Writing and publishing a chapter a week on her blog to keep her readers happy while they're waiting for the next book
  • Why Brittany has a "Fun and Games" section on her website and why she avoids political discussion in her reader groups and author page
  • How her writing is all about light overcoming dark
  • The way that 2020 had us on social media and on our phones a lot, instead of being with and understanding others
  • Advice Brittany would give to new writers
  • And more...

After the interview Mark reflects on the importance of attending to the needs of your readers.
