I Should Be Writing

I'm a bit clearer-headed this episode, and talk about all those times you can say "the book is done!" (There are several times you can say that.) Punchline- today I got another edit pass on my novella sent to me. >_< Again, no twitch stream this week (week of Sept. 20).

Well, of a sort. I had a hell of a few weeks and was essentially brain dead and struggling today. I announce a week off of streaming and try to talk about the new narrative game I'm playing on my stream. I'm also working on more transcriptions. By the end of this week I should have this season's episodes 1-10 done.  Again, no twitch stream this week.

Well the kid was driven to school and I was exhausted, so the audience helped me out with topics. A whole feedback show if you will. Don't forget to join us live on Twitch, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2pm Eastern!

We take a nugget of an idea and play with it until we come up with a plot for a romcom, a horror story, fantasy, and other genres. Remember you can join in live on Twitch, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2pm eastern! twitch.tv/mightymur

It gets close to kill your darlings, but if you've been working on a book for years and years, you might want to try a fresh story. No one says you have to abandon it.

It's hard to deal with too many ideas, but I have some thoughts. But also, for the luvva all that is decent, don't pay to publish your book. Just...don't.

It's...tiring and down-bringing to finish a project, but hey, I got it done!

This podcast will be heard and hopefully lessons will be learned. (But is there ever a time TO use passive voice? Of course there is!) I'm behind on posting these, so if there's a link I forgot, please let me know.

Keeping up with my "flossing" topics- what exactly does "Show, don't tell" mean? Is there a time when Telling is better than showing?

But here is the show where we talk about the seemingly simple question- where do you start?

The editors always ask for it, but what does it mean, and how do you get it?

Moving isn't the hard part: Getting moving is where things get tough. Let's talk about reducing choices. I'm back on Twitch, M, T, Th at 2pm, Wed. at 11am.

As a device-addicted person, please know this podcast is not from some high and mighty mountain, but somewhere right beside you in addicted-land. I got up this morning and put my tablet AND switch inside my lockbox. Too much to do, and I was ready to fart away the day on Fallout Shelter! Break from streaming until August 4, when I will announce new and exciting changes to my content!

So happy to have Tobias Buckell back to the show to talk about how careers aren't necessarily a straight line! Twitch news:Streams are canceled for the near future because I'm taking some time off for vacation and birthday and stuff. Back early August!
