TL;DR - Don't. But the podcast is cleverer than that.

Your wordcount is your own and that's OK.

Me, I'm dealing with a lot of intensity with current events and confusion with my WiP. I'm behind. But I don't care. I am moving on the story and that's what matters.

Goal: 8333

We are back with our 2016 fantasy RPG, and we discuss the importance of both PCs (aka Player Characters, aka the important people in your stories) and NPCs (the spear carries and the cashiers and the red shirts.)

Back in 2017 my NaNoWriMo MO was to spoof on radio shows. This is my Car Talk homage. We don't like it when things break, but our stories need them to!

Goal: 5000

You'll get pushback during NaNoWriMo. Some people will make fun. Some will dismiss you. Some will be downright jackasses. BUT I am a skilled jackass-to-English translator, and I cover what some of those comments mean.

Goal: 3333 words

It's November 1. You walk into a tavern and discover you're on a quest. There are metaphors and daggers involved. 

This year November will feature daily reruns of past NaNoWriMo episodes! Tune into Twitch.tv/mightymur for live write-ins on Tuesday and Thursday, 12:30 EST.

October/November always feels like a renewing time for me, for my own personal reasons, so I talk about that.

We chat about writing yourself into a corner, the "Sliding Doors" moment, a peek in to the way I think about this show. How the sausage is made, actually.

But also, HOLY CRAP Tom Lehrer music is in the public domain! That is huge.

I talk how to keep up with versioning. Well. I try, anyway. That, plus the motivational power of 4thewords.com and more NaNo prep talk!

You will want to gain and keep momentum going in October as you prepare for NaNoWriMo. And good lord, folks, back up your computer and your work!

I wasn't feeling well, so I just took Q&A in the live chat.
