It’s November, so the kettle needs to be on 24/7
It is NaNoWriMo time, the time we must write an awful lot, and we usually need coffee and/or tea to get by. And I have coffee and tea to recommend.
First, tea! I heard Adagio Teas allows fandom blends, and so I started working on my own blends for NaNoWriMo. I have two high caffeine blends (Morning Pages and Sprint!), two green tea blends (Reread and Writer’s Block), and two herbal blends (Dream Storm and Earned Rest.) I’m fond of the Writer’s Block and the Morning Pages, myself, and the Sprint! tea is a smoky blend not for the faint of heart.
Full disclosure: I will get points toward more tea on the site. But the cool thing is that when you make your own blends, you can choose a chari-TEA (hahah) to support with your blend sales. I’ve chosen NaNoWriMo.org.
I have also been buying a lot of coffee from Grinding Coffee, a black, LGBTQ+ owned coffee small business. I tried it out to support the business, and I kept buying because they have some amazing blends. (I recommend their cold brew blend and their Mexican Chocolate blend.) Now I am an affiliate with them, and you can get a 13% discount with the code MIGHTYMUR.
These are companies I use frequently, and I fully endorse.

TL;DR – Don’t. But the podcast is cleverer than that.
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.)
Back in 2017 my NaNoWriMo MO was to spoof on radio shows. This is my
