[DD] Exiled to Discord

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 52:42 — 40.7MB)

New Ditch Digger logo with shovel and ink “Exiled to Discord” is brought to you in large part by our patrons, who received an early, expanded version of this episode. You can join our Fabulist community with a pledge on Patreon as low as $1 a month! You can also support at Jemi or Ko-Fi! The rewards may vary slightly, but all get the archive and bonus episodes!

Matt and Mur return to Discord instead of Twitch, since we were taking a day off Twitch in solidarity with the streamers getting harassed on the platform.

Mur is woefully behind in everything, but that means I have a lot of content to bring you this week!

Twitch schedule for week of Sept. 13.
Mon: 2pm Gaming (Focusing on )
Tues: 2pm- I Should Be Writing
Wed: 11am- Ditch Diggers with Gail Carriger!
Thurs: 2pm- I Should Be Writing

We have a special sponsor this month! Frequently I’ll get the question of how to find a writer’s group, beta readers, or critiques. The folks down at Scribophile have the answer! Join, and you can find a group, or just a critique buddy. Get your short stories or your novel workshopped, and help others out in the process!

The day was kind of a perfect storm for crap, so it ended up with me and the dogs and my phone, streaming from the basement.

To quote Stuart Smalley, “This was not my best show.” But I did it!

To respect #ADayOffTwitch, we will not be streaming this week’s episode, September 1, live. We will still record and either post the recording or do it live in Discord.

I’m taking a break from Twitch- my week has gotten incredibly full and stressful, and then I’m going on vacation on Thursday, so it’s best if I don’t force it and stress myself out more. I’ll return on Wednesday, August 4!
