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.
I am super excited for streaming this week, both on my channel and Worldbuilder’s. On Wednesday I’ll be having a watch party of a beloved Henson classic with a puppeteer who’s worked with Henson’s company, and on Thursday I’m playing Among Us with other authors for charity! All times EST.

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.

We chat about writing yourself into a corner, the “Sliding Doors” moment, a peek in to the way I think about this show. How the sausage is made, actually.
But also, HOLY CRAP Tom Lehrer music is in the public domain! That is huge.
Remember you can see this video on Youtube and you can catch the next episode LIVE on Twitch!

I wasn’t feeling well so we just did a Q&A with the chat. Thanks to everyone who helped keep the discussion going!

I discovered that the Story Grid method is more of an editing tool than an outline tool, but we talk about that. You can see more resources at the Story Grid website.
NOTE- I am now on YouTube with these videos! So you don’t have to wonder what you missed in the stream!
ALSO NOTE- As I’m a podcaster of 16 years, you no doubt won’t be surprised that I still forget to set my mic input. So the internal mic grabbed allllll the fan noise and the audio was a bear to edit. I’m quite sorry.

This one went MUCH better, so for me, Saving the Cat is better than Snowflake. It’s still a long video, so it’s only on Twitch till October 14, 2020. Update- it’s currently on YouTube for the foreseeable future!Support this show on Patreon!

This is the audio for a LONG video and it seems people don’t like you to post 1hr + videos to Youtube when you’re not fancy and verified. So the video is on Twitch for TWO WEEKS only, check it out if you want.Support this show on Patreon!
