- How to Conceal a Surprise
Recorded pre-US election: As I re-read the Harry Potter books, I found a pretty cool thing Rowling did to conceal a surprise in book 3. Somehow, I managed to imitate that structure. I blame it on my "muse" (ie, completely accidental) but hopefully telling you about it helps you in some way!

Some audio issues mostly in the beginning - sorry! Tis' the life of a multitasker. Almost lost this morning's writing (but didn't! *phew*)

My mom sent me a flashdrive with my cruddy first (middle schooler) attempt at a book on it and it saved me from today's writers block. (Saved, as in, got me to procrastinate).

Does anyone else hate every time someone says "the craft"? I do. But I keep saying it. And I'm probably not going to stop. What else am I supposed to say?
Also - sorry about the audio in the second half of this one! I stopped for a video and then forgot to pic up the mic from my jacket. Oops.

I was being lazy with the title. Honestly, I'm overworked and my creative energy has been expended. So really, it's the best title possible for this one. The struggle is real right now! Listen to me rant about stress and discuss the process of how I wrote a recent opening passage of mine.

Winded, but (maybe a little too) inspired, I've been going on meditative walks & runs to help me with this editing phase. Oh, also: failure does not exist.
