PCs and NPCs - Rerun
We are back with our 2016 fantasy RPG, and we discuss the importance of both PCs (aka Player Characters, aka the important people in your stories) and NPCs (the spear carries and the cashiers and the red shirts and those troopers that Jedi have no problem killing but they can't kill the actual evil guy cause that's WRONG. Ahem. Tangent.)

WMUR- Bike Brothers! What Can Break? - Rerun
Back in 2017 my NaNoWriMo MO was to spoof on radio shows. This is my Car Talk homage. We don't like it when things break, but our stories need them to!
Goal: 5000

How DARE You? - Rerun
You'll get pushback during NaNoWriMo. Some people will make fun. Some will dismiss you. Some will be downright jackasses. BUT I am a skilled jackass-to-English translator, and I cover what some of those comments mean.
Goal: 3333 words

Looking Ahead, and Taking a Break
October/November always feels like a renewing time for me, for my own personal reasons, so I talk about that.

What if I write myself into a corner?
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.
Also, this weekend (Oct 23-25) I'm Guest of Honor at MileHi Con! Doesn't matter where you are, you can show up, cause we're in a global pandemic and the con is virtual!

Should you use versioning in writing?
I talk how to keep up with versioning. Well. I try, anyway. That, plus the motivational power of 4thewords.com and more NaNo prep talk!
Remember you can see this video on Youtube and you can catch the next episode LIVE on Twitch!
