This Would Have Been a Good Tweet with Shea Serrano The Other 51

    • Personal Journals

Shea Serrano, three-time New York Times best-selling author and columnist for The Ringer, returns to The Other 51 to talk about movies, writing and his new short story. 

Take a spoiler-free deep dive into Shea's short story, Post: What's the biggest difference between writing fiction and nonfiction? What scared him most about the process? Why is the big idea the most important thing in everything he writes? And how does a great editor make all the difference? There's a great lesson to be found in knowing when to throw away an idea. And Shea drops some real talk about self-publishing. 

Plus, we obviously talk about Calvin & Hobbes and Short Circuit.
