Noteworthy quote from this episode:

“I do my general plot of okay, this is what I want to happen. And then honestly, I think about the ending. How do I want it to end? How do I want to get there? And the in-between just happens.”
“Imagine you're stuck on that one spot, you don't know how you can further progress in your story because of how the character is. By having the freedom of allowing your character to change in any way you need them to, whether it's something big or something small, you have full right to go back and change it. It's not 100% in stone.”
“Marketing is connecting with your people. Finding your audience and enjoying things together.”
“Do what works for you. Don't try to be something that you're not”
