In classic Mur style, I am posting this mid October, not beginning. I need a minder.
But the concept still works, if you can start now as day 1, or wait till November, or do it any time, really.
We talk about Roger Zelazny’s book, A Night In the Lonesome October, and how I map it to a writing challenge, then we cover the Snowflake Method.
Did you hear we have merch? Yes, we do, with the new logo and everything!

In case it wasn’t clear: Mur and this podcast are fully supportive of LGBTQ+ folks, believe that Black Lives Matter, and trans rights are human rights, despite which direction the political winds blow.
And “AI” or large language models are wretched and we hate them so very much.
ABSOLUTELY NO AI scraping/learning of my content is permitted.
If you do not agree, then there are plenty of other places to go on the Internet.
