Two Hearts and One Braincell: Cassidy Carson & JT Hume Amateur Hour

What goes through a writer’s mind, and how do their thoughts, dreams, and experiences translate to the written word? How do they choose to go light or dark in their writing? We use our two most recent releases to discuss the yin and yang of a writer’s mind.

Check out our website and let us know what you think. TIA LYL!

This week's podcast/broadcast is about our four projects:

-CC finished formatting "From Tundra to Tiara"! We'll release it Friday, November 10, for $9.99

-I finished formatting "The Tucci Chronicles"! That will be released soon.

-CC's is deep into Nano and writing Book 2 of a brand new series.

-My Nano project is the third book of the "Sheriff in Nevada" series.

Back to "From Tundra to Tiara": We released the e-book in January 2023, but some readers love hard copy books. That's what you're getting on Friday, November 10. The price will be going up to $12.99 sometime soon, so grab our book at the discounted price now.

Here's the FTTT link.

More details about all of our books.

This week is all about formatting your self-published book through Word and Atticus. CC and I spent a lot of time this week in those apps getting "From Tundra to Tiara" and "The Tucci Chronicles" ready for you.

If you're getting ready to self-publish a book, or even thinking about it, we have ideas to help you avoid the challenges and minefields every indy writer encounters.

We also talk about Nevada Day and Nanowrimo.

Procrastinate. Overthink. Long walks. All are frustrating forms of writer's block.

In this week's episode, we talk about our personal forms of writer's block and what we do to overcome them.

TikTok Teaser! And here's the YouTube.

Another videocast & podcast for our fellow writers: it's Preptober!

CC & and chat about getting ready for #nanowrimo and how it's a time of joy, not stress, if you let it.

We also talk about our poor Cubs.

If you're on TikTok, you can catch us here, but there's a ten-minute limit (we didn't know).

The entire video is here on YouTube.

Have a listen and let us know what you think. TIA! LYL!

Episode 134: Twitter/X is implementing new and onerous terms of service, so CC and I have "that" talk about social media. As very small business owners, we have concerns because we no longer believe in the reach and reliability of Twitter/X.

We have an active conversation about social media in general, which gives you a peek inside on how CC and I talk things over.

We also discuss Free Speech and the First Amendment, which is sometimes not the same thing.

We're going to try out new things to replace Twitter/X, so stay tuned to this space for more details.

After a few "doom and gloom" episodes with the related drop-off in listenership, we announce the end of the podcast because we each discover a hill we will die on (kidding).

But seriously, folks, we dive into the Language of Love and the culture of a relationship, and how we as writers bring all of this to our works in progress. We're talking about communication, gestures, and habits that are unique to each relationship.

We use real-life examples of our parents' marriages as well as our own. We also cite Pride and Prejudice, Romeo and Juliet, Georgette Heyer, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

CC watched TED Talks by author Elizabeth Gilbert of "Eat, Pray, Love" fame as a means to break through her writer's block, and her videos inspired us to talk about the source of a writer's inspiration. We knocked down a series of dominos and ended up with the question: Are some writers divinely inspired by God to write their works, or is creativity the result of the happenstance of physiological neurons and flashes of genius?

We included a "Philosophy of Religion" class, the Baha'i' Faith, our conscience, and the one or many faces of God.

We also discussed old school driving lessons and our basement. This all makes sense (or not) if you have a listen. Check us out at www.carsonhume.com

TIA LYL!
