Ditch Diggers

[DD] AI Settlements and NaNoWriMo

"You should absolutely always write spite books." - Ursula Vernon (T. Kingfisher)

Unfortunately, this was recorded some time ago, but the Ditch Diggers tackle everything from the challenges of meeting deadlines to the complexities of AI settlements impacting authors. We touch on recent book releases, whirlwind tours, and the peculiarities of hotel bar conversations with state senators.
