Ursula joins me and we talk about body organs and just how important they are to a writing career.

We reference this debacle.

HEY check out my Speakeasy class on NaNoWriMo coming up on October 12, 8pm EDT!

Twitch schedule for week of Oct 10

• Mon: 1pm Gaming (Dream Daddy)
• Tues: 3pm- I Should Be Writing
• Wed: 5pm Gaming (TBD)
• Thurs: 3pm- I Should Be Writing

Yup, we're talking, a little late, about the YA Ratings debacle, but through the lens of dead white guy John Milton.

Yeah, he was a cranky old man, writer of super long Bible fanfic, and helped with regicide a little bit, but he also was a strong anti-censorship advocate. Which, considering you could lose your head for writing something offensive, was pretty damn brave.

My Milton professor made anything sound good. He was so excited about Milton that he made us excited. And Aeropagitica has stuck with me, even if the attention span to re-read it has not.

Mur and Matt welcome back the Godmother of Ditch Diggers herself, Gail Carriger! Gail wanted to talk about what happens when you're a pro and your books don't sell. What avenues do we have?

• Gail's books
• Mur's GODMAKER race
• No streaming the week of September 20

I had some last minute changes come up, but the awesome authors Ursula Vernon and Diana Rowland ended up calling in and hanging out to talk about the tools we use in our careers, from Scrivener to assistants. 

Matt and Mur return to Discord instead of Twitch, since we were taking a day off Twitch in solidarity with the streamers getting harassed on the platform.

New Twitch schedule for our live episodes! Tune in on Wednesdays at 11am Eastern Time!

Another scam publisher has reared its ugly head, so we talk about that, and exactly how you can tell if someone is scamming you. (Hint- it has to do with the flow of cash.)

Welcome back, Matt!
