From cultural appropriate to language and violence, and .... gasp ... sex, too many writers are afraid to truly tell the story inside them. In this episode, we talk about why you don't want to be that writer.   Have you seen that "Novel Idea to Podcast" was named the 5th best podcasting ebook to read in 2019 by Book Authority?!?! I'm still flying from this!!!   Please leave a kind writing and review for the show if you've been enjoying it. It is so, so important to the show's growth.   Thank you!

Social media sucks as bad as my writing, but you still need to be on it. Yes, including Facebook. So stop saying "only old people use Facebook," or "I don't understand Twitter, so I don't bother." Well, unless you want to stop selling books (or not sell many outside your friends and family).   Patrons got an extra 13 minutes of content.

It was hate that brought us together, when a writing competition excluded things like violence and sex and .... anything LGBTQ. Author Gwen Katz took a stand against the hate and was only too happy to come on and talk about being an LGBTQ author, the fiction space for LGBTQ fiction, how to respond to critics and more.   You can find Gwen here.   Check out "Among the Red Stars."   Check out the anthology she's in, "Putting the Science in Fiction."   If you're enjoying the show, please take a few minutes to rate and review it on your favorite podcatcher.   Don't forget to subscribe to The Stories We Tell on your favorite podcatcher. It launches next month!    

Do you enjoy listening to fiction? Here’s a special episode supercut of all 12 episodes of YOU, my Patreon-exclusive fan-determined adventure, where the fans decide where the story goes. I’m currently fundraising so I can fund the 3rd season of Subject: Found and the follow-on to Who Killed Julie?. Without this critical funding, those shows will disappear. Patrons not only get this podcast, but they receive YOU and, starting in the spring of 2019, they’ll also be receiving my new medieval epic fantasy, Crown of Thieves, which will only be published for Patrons & for resale (there will be no free, public release of that show beyond the 1st episode). Creating, writing, and producing audio drama is extremely expensive and not sustainable without personal funds being invested. As a solo-creator, I can no longer fund those shows and rely on my Patrons to keep Horrible Writing and The Stories We Tell podcasts going. That’s why they’re getting two exclusive audio dramas, plus other fiction when it’s ready. Indies need a community to survive. If you’ve enjoyed Subject: Found, Who Killed Julie?, Diary of a Madman, Atheist Apocalypse, Horrible Writing, (and will enjoy The Stories We Tell) then please consider becoming a Patron. The donation levels start at $1/MONTH (not per episode); an incredible steal for all the content you get. If you want to enjoy tons of exclusives each month, become a Patron today!
