Show Notes

Hey Collaborist - this week we're talking about head hopping in writing and also answering the question of how to approach reading while you write. We go over listener reading lists. And, Ben's got a new studio setup.

One of the most common editorial notes first time authors get is that they're "head hopping." Well, what does that mean? How does it happen? And how can you work around it. If you haven't already seen our classic Instagram Reel discussing the topic, we cover a lot of the same stuff in this episode of Collaborcast.

If you're watching this video, you probably don't need much convincing of how important it is to read books. But should you keep reading even while you're working on your own book? Or is that simply a recipe for getting influenced by the works and voices of other authors? Reading is important for writers, and when you read may be a critical component of that.

Both of these topics were listener submitted questions. If you've got one of your own, please feel free to drop it in the comments or send us an email and we'll try to work it into a future episode. We also celebrate the authors and books mentioned in last week's reading accountability check in addition to Jason and Ben listing the books they're reading.
