“Who Is the Monster?” is brought to you in large part by by my patrons , who received an early, expanded version of this episode. You can join our Fabulist community with a pledge as low as $3 a month!

From the Discord comes a question that requires some discussion and nuance. Why are some writers judged for the monsters they create and others aren’t? But it goes beyond imagining a monster.

NOTE- This episode has some crude, albeit SFW, language.

“The Case for Bad Writing” is brought to you in large part by by my patrons , who received an early, expanded version of this episode. You can join our Fabulist community with a pledge as low as $3 a month!

I encourage beginners to write as bad they want to be, because that’s the only way to be good. But the same goes for those of us a little further into our careers.

Ira Glass has an amazing message for beginners in creative pursuits.

Look, let’s be honest.Finishing a book and turning it in may not feel awesome. It may feel draining and depressing. And when you’re told you SHOULD be happy, you wonder what the heck is wrong with you.

Spoiler- Nothing is wrong with you.

Then we talk other myths!

It’s a weird thing, realizing that persistence is simply the art of managing boredom. And it’s really hard to be bored right now.

“ADHD Revisited” is brought to you in large part by by my patrons , who received an early, expanded version of this episode. You can join our Fabulist community with a pledge as low as $3 a month!

I’m reading The Disorganized Mind and trying to think of some new ways to deal with ADHD and how it affects my writing.

In other news, I’ve been thinking about my stream, and how the Monday AMA is not really doing much AMA. I’m going to be raising money for Extra Life, and I need to get some Patreon writing done, so I decided to do it live. Nothing should go wrong, right? Come on by and help me make decisions!

Also I’m getting too much into the habit of not eating lunch when I have a 1230 stream so I’m moving those to 1pm so I can be better nourished.
