Horrible Writing with Paul Sating

It was hate that brought us together, when a writing competition excluded things like violence and sex and .... anything LGBTQ. Author Gwen Katz took a stand against the hate and was only too happy to come on and talk about being an LGBTQ author, the fiction space for LGBTQ fiction, how to respond to critics and more.   You can find Gwen here.   Check out "Among the Red Stars."   Check out the anthology she's in, "Putting the Science in Fiction."   If you're enjoying the show, please take a few minutes to rate and review it on your favorite podcatcher.   Don't forget to subscribe to The Stories We Tell on your favorite podcatcher. It launches next month!    

Do you enjoy listening to fiction? Here's a special episode supercut of all 12 episodes of YOU, my Patreon-exclusive fan-determined adventure, where the fans decide where the story goes.

I'm currently fundraising so I can fund the 3rd season of Subject: Found and the follow-on to Who Killed Julie?. Without this critical funding, those shows will disappear.

Patrons not only get this podcast, but they receive YOU and, starting in the spring of 2019, they'll also be receiving my new medieval epic fantasy, Crown of Thieves, which will only be published for Patrons & for resale (there will be no free, public release of that show beyond the 1st episode).

Creating, writing, and producing audio drama is extremely expensive and not sustainable without personal funds being invested. As a solo-creator, I can no longer fund those shows and rely on my Patrons to keep Horrible Writing and The Stories We Tell podcasts going. That's why they're getting two exclusive audio dramas, plus other fiction when it's ready.

Indies need a community to survive. If you've enjoyed Subject: Found, Who Killed Julie?, Diary of a Madman, Atheist Apocalypse, Horrible Writing, (and will enjoy The Stories We Tell) then please consider becoming a Patron. The donation levels start at $1/MONTH (not per episode); an incredible steal for all the content you get.

If you want to enjoy tons of exclusives each month, become a Patron today!

The way we think can (and does) impact the outcomes in our lives. As writers, we have to be at our best to create the best art we can, and the way we look and think about the world is critical to that. How do you think about what happens to you each day?   I'd love to hear your experiences.   New structure! Now, each episode has exclusive Patron content. The Patreon version of the episode is 13 minutes longer than the public version! Would you enjoy more content? Become a Patron today for as low as $1/month.   Please rate and review the show so other writers can find it and join our community.   Join us on Facebook.   Pick up your copy of Novel Idea to Podcast to find out how you can sell more books.

Fantasy author Andy Peloquin comes on to talk about the highs and lows of hardcore writing rituals, how he does it, his process, and how every writer can do 'hardcore' writing for themselves.   You can find him on his website, Facebook, and Twitter.   Are you an epic/high/medieval fantasy fan? Did you know I have a new audio drama in development that is an epic medieval fantasy? It will be exclusive to Patrons. All Patrons will get access, from $1 up. Become a Patron today and never miss an episode of Crown of Thieves.

An impassioned plea in this episode for writers to consider where they're going for feedback on their stories -- coming from a recent experience I had while preparing a story for the The Stories We Tell podcast. As writers, we have the right and a responsibility to write "the other," and anyone who tells us that we can't better have a good reason for saying that. Identity politics can influence or even harm your writing.

The show is brought to you by Who Killed Julie?, a fiction docu-drama about the disappearance and life of Julie Macklemore. 

If you're enjoying the show, please tell someone. The best way, besides forcing them to listen, is by leaving a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.
