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.

I think I’m slow at these because I hate show notes. Truly.

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

Twitch schedule for this week:

• M- 2pm AMA
• T- 2pm I Should Be Writing
• W- 11am Ditch Diggers
• Th- 2pm I Should Be Writing

I will probably play a game or something, but I don’t want to schedule it because it’s low on the priority of all the things I need to get done.

I WILL finish the damn novella this week. Today, hopefully.

OH YALL- Check it out! I wrote a running adventure for Six to Start, (of Zombies, Run! fame). If you have the app, you’ll have access to the adventure. And a VIP pass isn’t too expensive for so much content.

This is a story I’ve wanted to tell for so long, but couldn’t find the right medium. The Necropolis is a city within the mountains where people worship the sun and mourn the dead moon. And a Godmaker sits in cabin above them all and carves household gods for the people in town. You are her apprentice, and you

Godmaker comes out TODAY!

I’m going to start covering those cliches that we hate to hear, but they’re like flossing–we know we should be doing them. But so many times people just say “raise the stakes” or “show, don’t tell” and then …nothing else. No examples or explanations. So let’s floss those teeth.

• M. 2pm AMA/Boyfriend Dungeon
• T. 2pm I Should Be Writing Live
• W. 11am Ditch Diggers with Matt’s Return!
