I’m doing a daily ISBW show focused on NaNoWriMo for Patreon supporters - for as little as a buck a month you can get a daily show while you do NaNoWriMo.
If you can’t, or don’t want to support via Patreon, then be sure to check out last year’s posts on the subject!
Prepping Your Support Structures
Discipline
Tools to Keep You Sane (incl. my favorite, Susanna’s Pacemaker*)
All of the other posts/podcasts tagged NaNoWriMo
* I’m doing the “rising to the challenge” system. Day 1’s wordcount is only 108, but Day 30’s wordcount is a whopping 3210.
Good luck!

I talk characterization and stuff, taking from a blog post I read and can’t remember the source. If you know the source TELL ME and I will post it here so I am not a total jerk.

Buy the book*! Chapel Hill Comics (signed books!) ~ B&N ~Powell’s ~ Indiebound ~ Waterstones
Buy the audiobook! Ambling Books ~ Audible
Don’t have book 1, The Shambling Guide to New York City yet?
The book: (BN) (Indie) (Waterstones) (Chapel Hill Comics) (Powell’s)
The audiobook: (Ambling) (Audible)
*Amazon is still fussy with Hachette, my publisher, so AMZ are saying there’s a 1-3 week delay. I’ve heard anecdotes that this is bullshit, as some readers say things still ship on time. YMMV. Get The Shambling Guide to New York City here, and Ghost Train to New Orleans here.
[EDIT to fix error in audio. Sorry about that.]

I talk about what it means to be a “wanna-be,” and then delve into hooks, using Kameron Hurley’s The Mirror Empire for example. Fantastic book. Go get it. Then I interview Seanan McGuire, from way back.
Relevant links: The Mirror Empire, Seanan’s Blog
What I’m writing now*: We Need the Eggs: detectives, wetware, and roller derby. Its status is proposal-under-edit-after-agent-comments. PUEAAC, if you will.

*Like, right this second, today. I have many irons in the fire, but this isn’t the place to list them. So if I list something else later, don’t think I write books within days.

I am recovering from London, deaths in the family, and deaths in the extended friendship family. I broke my magic spreadsheet chain. It’s been rough.
LonCon was awesome, though, and I will cover that at some future time.

I have a couple of horses in this Amazon vs Hachette race, and although I will admit I don’t fully understand all the details, I will say that I really dislike absolutes.
On a brighter note, we talk to Kirsty Logan!
