Hi all! This week, we'll talk about how Kevin has been out of spell slots and why it took almost a week to fix last week's episode. We also discuss Ursula's status, the horror movie rewatch we are doing, and have a "guest appearance" by Sergi. After all that, we talk to Katie Mazeika about how she stays productive!

This week we discuss Ursula's med changes, and how that is impacting her productivity - which it shouldn't, since she's allowing herself to use the adjustment period as "sick time." After that, we have an awesome talk with Jazzlyn Stone, freelance comics marketer and writer!

It is the week after the US Thanksgiving Holiday., and despite having JUST had a 4 day weekend, Kevin and Ursula are worn out from their respective tasks. The good news is Ursula finished a book today, and has sent it to her editor, but the bad news is she is too tired to appear this week. The better news is that we have a great talk with Special Guest Christina Vasilevski to make up for the lack of banter!

Kevin has just finished up All Things Open 2022, and is off to join Ursula at World Fantasy Con, so there isn't much of an update this week. So we'll go right into a fantastic talk with Scott Gatz, and find out how he stays productive!
