This week's episode is an interview with romance author Carla de Guzman. At Tyler's Cafe over pancakes and cheese, we discussed Carla's productivity tools and processes.

Happy new year! In this episode I explain why AfA episode 4 is super late, and what I've been doing on the last day of 2018. We also have the second part of my interview with Liana Smith Bautista at the Books & Brews Cafe. We chatted about fanfiction and the communities around them, and more writing productivity tools.

This is the second author interview I conducted while I was in Cebu City a few weeks ago. This time, I chatted with Liana Smith-Bautista, an editor and romance author (she writes under the pen name Kate Sebastian). I spoke with Liana over coffee, pasta and cookies at the Books & Brews Cafe, and she shared her productivity tips, including scary apps and what music is great to write to.

I met up with KC Cimafranca — author of paranormal and fantasy fiction — at the Abaca Baking Company in Cebu. We discuss how to write when your brain refuses to cooperate and your characters fall silent.

It's Day 2 of National Novel Writing Month! Have you been able to hit your daily writing targets? If so, congratulations.

It's Day One of National Writing Month! Are you excited to start? Did you stay up till midnight last night to start writing? In this episode I give suggestions on what activities you might want to consider giving up for the month of November to help you achieve your 50,000 words. Plus some things I think you shouldn't give up, not even for NaNoWriMo.

Today's episode is outlining. This is not a lesson on how to outline, no. But I do try to argue the merits of outlining, and how a pantser (like me!) can ease into the process of working from an outline.

Today we talk about point of view (POV) in novel writing. Not all types of POVs because I only know so much, and we don't want this episode to run for hours.

In the first episode of #NaPodWriMo, I talk about genre. And also possibly ninjas in regency romance novels.
