Sh*tty First Drafts is a podcast hosted by two writers, Brynn and Stephanie, that aims to demystify the writing process through conversation and a good sense of humor. Each episode, a guest writer is asked to share an older piece of writing—whether it's an early draft of a current work or something scrawled in a high school notebook—as well as a newer, polished piece. While the show is centered around writing and drafting, it also seeks insight into the evolution of writers over time and how that affects the way they approach the page, revision, and getting shit done. SFD plans to interview writers of different genres, experience, and style, while asking the same question: how do you get from the shitty first draft to the final one?

For this very special episode we interview our own Brynn Martin about her work and get to know ½ of the SFD hosts. We talk about the elementary school poetry unit that rocked her little world, how she was forever changed by LOTR (though she wasn’t allowed to watch it), and how writing poetry has always helped her work through her personal problems.
Shoutout to our guest co-host for this episode, Erin Elizabeth Smith (@sundresserin, SFD episode 5)!
Extra shoutouts to Mr. Carter, Emilia Phillips, and Barb Martin, who taught, mentored, and birthed Brynn, respectively.
You can follow Brynn on Twitter @brynnsie and find her poem, “My Mother’s Nipples” at Crab Orchard Review. You can read the original (yikes-y) Robert Hass poem at Michigan Quarterly Review. You can also read more of Brynn’s recent work at Five:2:One’s #thesideshow.
