I’ve gone to doing a daily show to get in shape for my yearly NaNoWriMo daily show. The daily show will be in the main feed until Oct 31, but then in November it goes to Patreon only. Join us in the Ink Stained Fabulists on Patreon for only $1 a month for the next two weeks!

Follow the show on your favorite service!

 

[This was all set to go yesterday. And I never actually published it… So you will get today’s daily, AND yesterday’s… And tomorrow you get episode 60. Look, it’s been a chaotic month!]

S18 Ep61  |  October 19, 2022

In this episode we talk about NaNoWriMo, and what traditionally published authors have power to do (and not do) with their books. Also, I talk about the doggo.

NOTE- working on a November calendar for my NaNo events! Will post here when I can.

Where to find me!
