“Weaponizing Language” is brought to you by patrons Solomon Costello Michaels and John, and the letter B!

I’m finally posting last week’s episodes. I’ve been writing a lot (yay) and neglecting the podcast production (boo), even though the streams are still on schedule.

WiP Codename: Necropolis

12990 / 13000 words. 100% done!

Ironically, I did want to talk about the power of language again this month, but I did not expect the president to whip his fans into a fury with some very amazing weaponized language, so this topic hit a little close to home on January 12.

“Turn it off” is brought to you by patrons Tish Bouvier and Arioch Morningstar, and the letter A!

I found it very hard to concentrate after the events of January 6, so I realized that in order to get work done, I had to do some self care and turn it off. News, social media, the whole world of distraction. I hope you can find some equilibrium.

“Grim and Determined in 2021” is brought to you by patrons Wil Ralston and Fyrerider, and the letter N!

It’s a new year, and we are grim and determined. Things are still pretty terrible, so we face the new year with hope, but not resolutions.

“A Writer’s Christmas Carol” is brought to you by patrons Jon Tollerton and Zach Payne, and the letter K!

I wanted to do A Christmas Carol and wonder if Scrooge had been a writer, but ended up talking about my own past, present and future. Stuff got real. We talked about 12 Days of Christmas parodies too.

I wanted to cover the concept of productivity in December, which is hard in a GOOD year. We also touch on the idea of finding writer’s groups in 2020.

A little bit of NaNoWriMo wrap-up, but then we deal with the idea of goals again, and the trouble I have with these goal programs that are everywhere. I’m wondering if goals for writers are different. And I’m taking another one now, from Udemy. Which is pronounced you-de-ME, not YOU-demy.

Yeah, I know ‘words have power’ is cliche, but the basic decisions on how to describe people, considering your POV and your own biases, can dramatically affect your book.
