Hugos are still messy, so check out Chris M. Barkley*, Paul Weimer, Alasdair Stuart, and Jason Sanford and the excellent fanwriting they do.

*Accidentally call him Charles in the recording. Sorry!

We talk character depth, using Baldur’s Gate 3 as an example.

ISBW S20 Ep2

I am not a lawyer or an accountant, and taxes mentioned in the podcast are specific to my understanding of US tax law. 

(how did I not make this live?)

No one likes to talk about money. Either you admit how bad you are or you’re awkward because you make a lot. Or you’re a jerk, but we aren’t talking to those people. I’m here to talk about my income, what an advance really means, and how to best use your writing income. We also discuss YNAB, my favorite budgeting tool, and authors Valerie Valdes and Premee Mohamed show up in chat to give their input.

I wanted to discuss humor again, so my buddy Valerie came back on to talk about it because she’s smarter than me. Even though she introduced us to “Diggy Diggy Hole.” We also talk “The Homecoming Queen’s Got a Gun,” the Bridesmaids toast scene that makes me wanna die, The Hitchhiker’s Gudie to the Galaxy, and Tom Cardy’s “Perception Check” (NSFW language).

Steve Martin famously did his comedy acts to empty bars when he started. It’s a good mindset to keep.

Turns out that the stress of dealing with November has made me sit on this production. 🙁 But Travis Baldree and I hung out online and talked about our books that launched this month, Chaos Terminal and Bookshops and Bonedust.
