Firstly, thank you so much for being patient and waiting for Season 9. As you'll hear in the episode, the delay was due to getting a traditional publishing contract that had a deadline attached. 

Since then, all my focus has been on that book.

Today's episode looks at the dissection of DREAM STATE, my novel published in Dec 2022. At the start of the episode, you'll hear a tiny bonus of giggles - unusual from TVW, but hope it makes you smile too.

It's easy to forget what's important when you've a million things coming at you. It's also easy to think what you're doing isn't important. Trusting your gut is as vital to being a writer as the air you breathe.

In the 2nd episode of Season 8, we look at how life doesn't stop when you start writing. In fact, it downright simply gets in the way. How do you deal with that? How do you re-focus on the task at hand instead of dealing with life stuff? Or do you just have to accept the distraction?

Here's a surprise episode, one I recorded a few years ago but is still as relevant as it was then. 

This time of year, many writers - new and experienced - will consider participating in NanoWrimo, the annual writing challenge to write 50k in a month.

This episode looks at, in my experience, the pros and cons of the challenge.
