“Delicious Conflict Parfait” is brought to you in large part by by my patrons , who received an expanded version of this episode early. You can join us with a pledge as low as $1 a month!

Conflict shows us how people relate to each other, much better than a good day will. Conflicts include everything from an injury, to lack of sleep, to fights with significant others, to rude folks on the road, and then the big one with the meteor coming to destroy the Earth. The worse the day is, the more we learn about the character and what matters to them.

“Finding Time to Write” is brought to you in large part by by my patrons , who received an expanded version of this episode early. You can join us with a pledge as low as $1 a month!

After 20 years I’ve finally figured out how to find that elusive time to write. And the reason I never found it before was because finding time, or making time, is more challenging than people say it is. Sure, OK, “make time” — but HOW?

NEW: Transcription available!

Every few years there’s a very concerned think piece about the innocent writer who got a six figure advance and blew it all, or sold zero books, or just felt betrayed by publishing, and I am sick of it. If only we all could get articles written about us when we have a bad day at work, or show ourselves unwilling to do basic research into our new profession.
