April 03, 2024 [ISBW] The Epiphany of Writing Routines: Embracing Structure in a Creative Life
I found myself looking for my own magic bullet and getting frustrated a the media who take the idea of a daily routine--something people with ADHD people need--and play it off as only done by stodgy, unfun dorks. I discuss Josh Zimmerman's videos, how creation is like jumping off a diving board for me, my solo RPG plans, and promote Premee Mohamed's books and bullying.

ISBW S20 Ep2
I am not a lawyer or an accountant, and taxes mentioned in the podcast are specific to my understanding of US tax law.
(how did I not make this live?)
No one likes to talk about money. Either you admit how bad you are or you’re awkward because you make a lot. Or you’re a jerk, but we aren’t talking to those people. I’m here to talk about my income, what an advance really means, and how to best use your writing income. We also discuss YNAB, my favorite budgeting tool, and authors Valerie Valdes and Premee Mohamed show up in chat to give their input.

I wanted to discuss humor again, so my buddy Valerie came back on to talk about it because she’s smarter than me. Even though she introduced us to “Diggy Diggy Hole.” We also talk “The Homecoming Queen’s Got a Gun,” the Bridesmaids toast scene that makes me wanna die, The Hitchhiker’s Gudie to the Galaxy, and Tom Cardy’s “Perception Check” (NSFW language).
