At least one of your favourite podcast hosts has been keeping a consistent writing schedule, so in this episode we share our writing habits and routines, current projects, writing environments, and tips and tricks to stay motivated and make real progress towards our creative writing goals.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Genre Blender without our usual segments: Read Watch Play (featuring everything from Speak No Evil to The Handmaid’s Tale), Coming Right Up for what we’re excited for in the coming months, and the introduction of the brand-new Wheels of Chaos for our Backlog Roulette segment!

Curious about what we’ve forced each other to read, watch, or play this time? Tune in to find out!
