    Can 4 Writers Beat AI in 10 Min? (feat. B. W. Luby, Christopher Babcock + Jayden Jelso)

    WANT TO START A PODCAST? https://payhip.com/b/mqNGF Can four authors write a book in just 10 minutes?  🕒  Welcome to Round 2 of this exciting and chaotic challenge! Inspired by Vanity Fair’s “Screenwriter Tries to Write a Script in 7 Min,” we’re putting a literary spin on it to test our creativity and see if we can take a bad, tropey story idea and make it shine. In this episode, we ask the big questions: Can we write a compelling story under the pressure of a ticking clock? Can we craft a strong female character who is neither toxic nor annoying? Is it possible to turn a cliché into something memorable, thought-provoking, and maybe even… a bestseller? Join us for a whirlwind of fun, laughter, and storytelling chaos! ✨ Featuring: B. W.
