Horrible Writing with Paul Sating

I'm joined by Anthony Oliverie of the 2298 audio drama & we commiserate over what it's like to be self-deprecating creators. He answers why he does it, how it serves him if he's constantly self-deprecating and more.   In fact, for the 1st time (not the last time) ever, you are getting content that will not be released to the public! Anthony stayed after and answered questions that only Patrons will receive.   You can find him on Twitter.   This will be the last episode until July 23rd. as I'm off for the first vacation in over 2 years. Until we meet again, catch up on back episodes, rate and review the show on your podcatcher, and pick up a copy of Chasing the Demon, please!

Is using podcasting as an avenue to launching your book a feasible idea? Let's explore that.

Author Aditi Wardhan Singh and I talk about what it means to be brave using your cultural experiences in your writing. She was a wealth of quotes and brought her kick-ass attitude. A passionate humanist who wants to make the world a better place, she walks the walk by running Raising World Children. We talk about why you should put your stories out there. The 1 thing you should never ask an Indian woman (yes, I asked it), and why it's your job to make sure your culture is represented. You're going to love her.   She's also looking for writers!   Use the links to find Raising World Children, their Facebook page, on Instagram, Aditi's bio, or Twitter. You can find Aditi on Facebook or Twitter.   If you have a story idea for her, reach out to her at [email protected].   Please leave a rating & review for the show on your favorite podcatcher.   Also, now is the time to pick up one of my new stories: - The new novel, "Chasing the Demon" or - The new horror short story, "The Plant," which is a nice peek into 2019's novel, "The Scales."  

Publishing on Amazon wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it was going to be.   Please leave an Apple Podcast rating and review if you find this show helpful. Thank you to those of you who do.   Speaking of Amazon, head on over to Amazon and pick up my new short story, "The Plant" while you're pre-ordering "Chasing the Demon."   Thank you for always supporting me!   Peace, Paul

I idolize what this writer does, so it was an honor to get to chat with Chris Fox. He comes on to talk about something very empowering (to all of us, writers or not), that can change our lives. Even if you're not a Horrible Writing fan, I encourage you to give a listen to what he has to say. We talk about mindset, depression, & he shares tips to removing toxicity from your life.   You can find his work at http://www.chrisfoxwrites.com. He also mentions the book, "Mindset," by Dr. Carol Dweck, which you can find at https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Changing-think-Fulfil-Potential-ebook/dp/B005RZB65Q.   Sign up for my newsletter to get 1st word on any news I have about my books and podcasts.

What is #cockygate? What's the controversy? 'Cocky' is 'just' a word, after all, isn't it? Writer/screenwriter/lawyer Kevin Kneupper filed a Cancel Petition with the Trademark office & comes on the show to talk about why this is a situation, why writers (and readers) should care, and what he's doing to help us.

Note to Horrible Writing fans: this is a SPECIAL episode and does not follow the typical theme of the show.

Please support Kevin for the good work he's doing for the community. You can find his "They Who Fell" series on Amazon.

You can find him on Facebook and on Twitter at (@kneupperwriter).

One author, Tara Crescent, has had many of her books taken down by Amazon. Check her out and see if you can support her by picking up some of her available books.

Twitter user @WordSugarDesign has offered to help those negatively impacted (see this tweet). You might be able to support here on her website.

Let's rise as a community and support those who need us.

Thank you.

Peace,

Paul

Two listener emails discussed themes central to the community, so I address why a healthy community can be the difference for a writer.   Pre-order "Chasing the Demon."   Join the official Facebook Group.   Peace, Paul

Poet Lorna Rose comes on the show to talk about how becoming a mother changed her writing life. We discuss things like balancing parenthood with the itch to writing when real life creates other demands.

Please check out her work (http:www.lornarose.com) and her Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/bigthings2).

I'd love the Horrible Writing community to help me launch my own published author career now that "Chasing the Demon" is available for pre-order on Amazon. Order your copy for $.99 today.
