Comparing Yourself to Others – Rerun

TL;DR – Don’t. But the podcast is cleverer than that.

Your wordcount is your own and that’s OK.

Me, I’m dealing with a lot of intensity with current events and confusion with my WiP. I’m behind. But I don’t care. I am moving on the story and that’s what matters.

Podcast art, female fencer silhouette - Characters, PCs, and NPCs, NaNoWriMo 2020 We are back with our 2016 fantasy RPG, and we discuss the importance of both PCs (aka Player Characters, aka the important people in your stories) and NPCs (the spear carries and the cashiers and the red shirts and those troopers that Star Wars heroes have no problem killing but they can’t kill the actual evil Sith Lord because that’s WRONG. Ahem. Tangent.)

blue chicken outrage — art by Fiona Van Verth

You’ll get pushback during NaNoWriMo. Some people will make fun. Some will dismiss you. Some will be downright jackasses.

BUT I am a skilled jackass-to-English translator, and I cover what some of those comments mean.
