This week, Vicky and Joe about retelling the Greek myths from a female point of view, before moving onto the main event: should you imitate your favourite writers? The short answer: yes. The longer answer: listen to this episode to find out why, and how, and how imitating your favourite writers can help you to sound more like YOU.   Key Takeaways: [1:00] Joe almost cut off his finger. [7:15] Dingle update! [8:30] Should you write like other writers?  [14:40] If someone's making a ton of money as a self-published author, would you really care if you're not traditionally published? [18:55] Study what you like intentionally and be introspective about that writing style instead of copy or steal it.  [21:30] Pick a couple of different writing styles and see how difficult/easy it might be for you.  [23:15] Have you ever put a book on pause? Vicky understands your pain.  [24:00] Vicky has VIP day for all of your half written books.    Mentioned in This Episode: Website Book Breakthrough Jam Podcast Subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, and Overcast Email Vicky about 1:1 coaching at: vicky@moxiebooks.co.uk Stone Blind: Medusa's Story Book by Natalie Haynes Song of Solomon Novel by Toni Morrison Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened Book by Allie Brosh

It's hard to be supportive of yourself sometimes, and Brosh's understanding humor makes her the perfect companion along that journey.

I have done the following: - Took an "autumn soup making" class alone and loved it. Autumn and all this nice chilly (not cold) weather is definitely my favorite. (photos and links over on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/posts/59166304) - Got my COVID booster shot and spent an entire day lying in bed with a massive headache. - Purchased a Wacom Cintiq because I really desperately want to make more illustrations again soon. - Had the above thanksgiving dinner alone, but watched "Home Alone" with my friend Heather while we texted about the movie while I ate it. Things I mentioned: My Imagen AI Patreon review - https://www.patreon.com/posts/article-review-55417998 Last month's video about burn out and creativity (which felt very reminiscent of my podcasts because we talked so much about feelings - https://www.patreon.com/posts/video-staying-57490753 Things I've been loving: - This collection of photos by brian chorski - The absolutely surreal art of Ismail Zaidy (photos and links over on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/posts/59166304) - Rereading Hyperbole and a Half (I have two of Allie Brosh's books and I connected with someone in Costco because I was carrying one around). Her comic about depression is incredible. (and there's a Part 2) - Learning to identify new feelings in my body. I had this whole exercise with my therapist where I told her I felt "numb" and she got out a bunch of "feelings" cards and we went through them one by one and it turned out, I wasn't numb, I was just having feelings that I didn't recognize how they felt in my own body. So now, I use a feelings chart and I love it. - Breakfast. This could be in every podcast newsletter episode, really, because cooking breakfast for myself is dope.

"The first time I can remember feeling truly powerless, I was three, and I was trapped sideways in a bucket in the garage." The first line of Allie Brosh's latest illustrated memoir, Solutions and Other Problems, lets the audience know that we still can know what to expect her to say. Using short illustrated essays, stories of her life, Brosh walks us through a few important experiences. The absurdity, the childlike wonder, the laugh-out-loud humor contained in the stories all the while she shares her grief, depression, and anxiety is utterly relatable. In this, the first book we read this month, we discuss mental health and our various reactions to this treasure of a book. Aubrey Hicks is joined by Caroline Bhalla, Liz Falletta, and Stacy Patterson.

Adult books with pictures. A rare breed. This book is one unlike any other. It's a humorous book filled with deep topics and great artwork. Allie Brosh is a pretty famous author at this point. Is the hype overblown? West Lafayette Public Library Director Nick Schenkel has the review.

Tay and Lydia take on episode 6, “Swish,” of Netflix and Shondaland’s "Bridgerton." Lydia mulls over which piece of music fits the honeymoon episode better, “It Wasn’t Me” by Shaggy or Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” arranged and performed by Duomo. We compare Lady Whistledown in the books vs. the series, question the necessity of the village pig plot line, and delve into a serious discussion of consent and the show’s decision to include a sexual assault scene in the adaptation of the original book. Content warning: Detailed discussion of sexual assault, reproductive coercion, and gaslighting takes place 1:26-2:02 in this episode.Next week: Episode 7, “Ocean’s Apart”Our recs:Elizabeth Hoyt, Not the Duke’s Darling, 1st in her Greycourt series, & Wicked Intentions, 1st in her Maiden Lane series (Fabulous romance!)Allie Brosh, Solutions and Other Problems (Hilarious!

The recent spike in Americans suffering from anxiety and depression makes evident that COVID-19 has impacted our health in more ways than one. In this episode, Hillary talks with three people who have spoken openly about their own mental health struggles: Tony Award-winner Audra McDonald, veterans advocate Jason Kander, and author Allie Brosh. Audra McDonald is a singer and actor who has won a record-breaking six Tony Awards, two Grammy Awards, and an Emmy. Onstage, she’s performed in numerous plays, musicals, and operas, including Carousel, Ragtime, and Porgy & Bess. On TV, she portrayed Dr. Naomi Bennett on the medical drama Private Practice, and in 2018, she joined the cast of the CBS All Access’ The Good Fight. Her latest solo album is Sing Happy. Jason Kander is a veterans advocate and a former Army Captain who served in Afghanistan. He was elected to the Missouri state legislature in 2008 and as Missouri Secretary of State in 2012. Jason is the founder of Let America Vote, an organization that fights to protect voting rights; the national expansion director for the Veterans Community Project; and co-host of the political podcast Majority 54. His memoir, Outside the Wire: Ten Lessons I’ve Learned in Everyday Courage, was a bestseller. Allie Brosh is a former blogger and the author of Hyperbole and a Half (2013) and Solutions and Other Problems, which was published earlier this year. Find a full transcript here.

Finally picked up my copy of Allie Brosh's book Hyperbole and a Half. I was immediate struck by how damn good it is and also by the idea of writing letters to past versions of yourself. I have to admit I'm particularly vulnerable to this idea because of my belief in multiple egos. So, that's what I talk about in this episode...that and explaining a slight adjustment to the way that I'm doing these episodes to avoid becoming a book summarizer...boring.

This week we read Allie Brosh's wonderful biography/comic book in a similar style to her wonderful blog Hyperbole and a Half. We laugh and we cry - and that is literally what we call each section. Thanks for listening! 

Today's episode kicks off a 3 part series focusing on the topic of depression in tandem with our commencement of the One Book One Campus program. The book Hyperbole and A Half by Allie Brosh, is a first-person honest telling of what it feels like to have depression.  In this series we'll be diving a little deeper with featured content  captured from Spring Flex Day. Beginning with an excerpt from the book turned award winning live performance by Shannon Ustatis, a Mt. SAC Forensics national winner and alumni.

The more I read, the more I find myself getting emotionally sucked into books about a dark or otherwise serious subject matter told from a child’s/teen/young person’s point of view. Examples would be Room, and To Kill A Mockingbird. I love “reading between the lines” and picking up on subtle hints and clues to what’s going on in the story, rather than outright descriptions told from an adult or omniscient narrator. I’m a mental health therapist and I work predominantly with teenagers who have been through some sort of, so it’s kind of obvious where my pull towards these books comes from. The book doesn’t have to be about major traumatic events (abuse, neglect, rape, etc), just serious subject matter that a young person is dealing with and trying to interpret and work through. Thank you so much!!!! -Alissa   2. I am looking for African-American, Bi-sexual, and women with disabilities, literature. I love fiction, some fantasy some siFi, romantic suspense, and both mysteries and thrillers. oh and classic literature, and women’s fiction. Some Young Adult is okay. No Paranormal, or aliens having human babies, no cloning, and weird stories. yuck! I am blind so the books must be available in an accessible format. -Melissa   3. Hello. I work at a nonprofit hunger relief organization and am looking for recommendations for our staff book club. Specifically, I am hoping you have some ideas for a graphic novel or graphic nonfiction book about any of the following topics, ideally in combination: food, nutrition, nonprofits, social justice, equity, or inclusion. We have read two books so far, Big Hunger and Behind the Kitchen Door, and have a good list of future options, but I thought it might be nice to try something less wordy at some point. Must be appropriate for discussion in a work setting. Can be something we could read all at once or in installments. Thank you for the tips and for the amazing show! -Leah R   4. I love watching documentaries (my favorite film genre) and reading non fiction as well as science fiction. I recently read Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot and loved them both. Currently I am reading Going Clear by Lawrence Wright and loving it as well. (Side note, if you haven’t seen the HBO documentary made from the book you are truly missing out) I am worried I wouldn’t be able to find any more weird non fiction & science fiction to read once I am done with Going Clear. Any suggestions would be super helpful. -Kiirah   5. Hi, I’m always on the lookout for great book recommendations for my amazing niece. She loves YA fantasy (Throne of Glass is one of her favorite series) and Disney. Her favorite princess is Mulan, so she really likes strong female characters. She’s African American, so I would love to find a book for her featuring a non-white protagonist, since they are underrepresented in fiction and thus hard to come by. Any help you can give me is wonderful. I hate to give her gift cards for her birthday or Christmas because it feels so impersonal to me. Thanks, -Heather   6. So I need help trying to find books similar to my favorites. I LOVE Marcus Zusak, author of “I Am the Messenger” and “The Book Thief”. I love the writing style, the quip literary remarks, the funny quotes and how the actual physical writing is different (fonts, margins, etc.). I also enjoy how closely I become connected to the characters. They are ones I won’t soon forget. They are both books I’ve read and recommend to everyone and now I’m looking for other books that are as similar to him as possible. -Dallas   7. Hello! I was recently diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and I’m hoping you can recommend some books that have characters with that diagnosis or something similar. I am not picky whether it’s YA, or fantasy, or whatever, but I do tend to lean more towards YA. A memoir would be particularly interesting.

JCPL librarians bring you book recommendations and discuss the bites and beverages to pair with them. On this episode, we talk about creativity and creative types, including the books "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert, "Hyperbole and a Half" by Allie Brosh, "Petty: The Biography" by Warren Zanes, and more!

We've talked about the tools you need, a growth mindset, and busted some myths about making changes. Don't you think it's about high time we actually make some changes? It's sooooo much easier to think about and talk about making changes in our lives than actually doing it. I've had a legitimately crazy week with an average of one major crisis per day. Authentically major crises, not some silly hangnail kind of crisis. And this podcast recording is late. Even though I know it's late, I've put it off all day. I'm generally not a procrastinator. But, I'm was having a ton of trouble forcing myself to get to work on this episode. Why? I think it has to do with the fact that I actually have to buckle down and make some changes at this point. It's much easier to think about it and plan to do it…tomorrow. Or, next week. Much of what we're going to talk about in the next two weeks comes from a book published in 2011 called Change Anything. (not an affiliate link, just a great book) The folks that wrote the book describe six outside influences that affect our change-making ability. These six fall into a few categories. Half relate to our motivation and half to our abilities. In each of these two categories, there is a personal, a social and a structural influence. In the toolbox episodes relating to people (here and here), I already talked about the social aspect, so we're going to focus on the personal motivations and abilities this week and the structural motivations and abilities next week. When it comes to making changes in our lives, many of us feel like Allie Brosh who says in Hyperbole and a Half Most people can motivate themselves to do things simply by knowing that those things need to be done. But not me. For me, motivation is this horrible, scary game where I try to make myself do something while I actively avoid doing it. If I win, I have to do something I don't want to do. And if I lose, I'm one step closer to ruining my entire life. And I never know whether I'm going to win or lose until the last second. I know it's a book of hyperbole, but she hits pretty close to the mark about how we feel about personal motivation and willpower. Usually, we know what we should do, the question is will we do it? If my son liked doing his homework, the laundry and taking showers, he wouldn't need external motivation, like my constant insistence, bribes, and threats to get it done. Now, wouldn't that be a lovely world? If he eagerly tripped off to take a shower and do his laundry? But, I can't really judge him too harshly, because I have the same issue when it comes to balancing the checkbook and paying bills, choosing the carrots over chocolate, and cleaning pretty much anything. If the change I need to make is getting my finances under control, I'd better learn to balance my checkbook, control my spending and pay my bills whether I enjoy it or not. If I need to change my eating habits, how can I make myself bypass the chocolate and reach for the carrots? Or, if I want to have a presentable house, how can I convince myself to clean consistently and thoroughly? How can we convince ourselves to do things in the short term we really aren't eager to do in order to get the long-term results we really do want? I'm going to give you five strategies today. Grab your pen and notebook, because this is a super practical episode and you are going to want to remember these tactics. Grab this printable worksheet you can use to generate ideas about each of these tactics and apply them to the change you want to make. 1. Put yourself in your default future. My ex-husband is a diabetic and suffering the physical deterioration that uncontrolled diabetes causes. He was recently in the hospital for a few weeks with kidney failure. I'm not in any immediate danger of being diabetic. But, my grandfather was and its always in the back of my mind. I have a serious sugar addiction and I've gained a ton of weight in the last several months. Someone you know facing a life-threatening health crisis that is a potential result of one of your behaviors that needs to change is a way to make the future seem very real. Feeling, touching, smelling, visualizing that future - good or bad is a way to help bring it to bear on the decisions you face in the short term. What can you do to make the future seem more realistic? If you need to develop a habit of wearing a motorcycle helmet. Talk to an emergency room nurse. Spend time with people who live in or daily deal with the future you want or want to avoid. 2. Face the whole truth. We have a way of conveniently avoiding unpleasant details by glossing over them or using language that sounds polite and less provocative than the truth often is. I noticed myself doing it as I thought about the language I just used a few moments ago in talking about the results of diabetes. I said, “the physical deterioration that uncontrolled diabetes causes.” This is politely sanitized language. Telling you that is one thing. When I'm trying not to eat a half a package of Oreos I need to think of it as, “having parts of my feet amputated, losing my eyesight, missing my son's life because I'm in the hospital half the time, losing consciousness, kidneys failing, facing death before my boy is grown.” See the difference? Don't shy away from the whole truth. Visit it in as much detail, vivid language, and gritty realism as you can possibly muster. 3. Obsess over the why. While talking and thinking about your behaviors and habits, obsess about the why behind the actions. Constantly associate your behavior with the values driving the change. Since I started with the health example and it's where I need to change right now, I'll just stick with it. When I think about making a choice, I need to remind myself that I'm choosing family. I'm choosing longevity. I'm choosing the ability to run, play and hike with my grandkids rather than watch them from a recliner. I'm choosing real lasting joy over temporary pleasure. I'm choosing to be responsible and healthy. I'm choosing to be a good example for my son. These values that I can associate with choices help me see a bigger picture, a “why” that helps overpower immediate gratification. 4. Gamify it. One of the biggest recent trends in marketing meets personal motivation. Turn your change-making into a game. There are three keys to doing this…limited time, chunked down challenges and meaningful scores. Whole30 works because it's a limited time, the rules are clear and the scorekeeping is how you feel. I track habits I'm trying to form because there's something incredibly satisfying about seeing those x's on the page and something motivating about not wanting to break a streak. There's a story about a man struggling to complete his doctoral thesis that illustrates this point. He gave himself 90 days. That's the limited time. He created a task of writing 2 pages a day - that's an easily doable chunked down challenge. And here's the part I love most about this particular story…the clever scoring. He borrowed doctoral robes, took a photo of himself in them and cut it into 90 pieces. As he completed his 2 pages a day, he added a piece of the photo and he began building the picture of himself as a doctoral candidate. 5. Create a personal vision statement. Develop a short sentence or two that you can repeat to yourself when faced with a choice that will put the choice in perspective. It could paint the picture of your default future, it could talk about what kind of person you want to be. It should be full of value words and it must be personally motivating to you. Commit to repeating this statement to yourself before making choices relating to the change you want to make. As I'm thinking about this for myself, I'm going to test out, “I'm the kind of person that makes healthy, responsible choices that mean I'll live to play with my grandkids.” Yours could be, “I'm responsible with my money because I take care of those I love.” Those are five tactics for increasing your personal motivation. Add them to your personal “why” and the five commandments we developed at the end of last year and you'll have a set of strategies that help tilt the odds in your favor for making short-term choices that lead to long-term change. That covers the motivation side of the personal influences, but what about the abilities? We tend to have blind spots when it comes to what we know and don't know. For example, if I want my son to make good food choices, I might need to educate him about those choices. Is yogurt a healthy food? What about granola? Are the Clif bars he loves a good choice? I don't have Coke in the house, so he's not faced with that choice daily, but what about wanting one every time we're out? What if I taught him that a daily sweetened soft drink can add 15 lbs a year to his weight. And over five years that's 75 lbs. What if I see the 35 lbs I should lose as constantly carrying everywhere I go an extra bag of the dog food I dread carrying down my stairway every month. What if I have to buckle down and wade through current health data, or find new recipes or learn a new way to cook? What if I need to develop new skills in the grocery store: reading and interpreting labels, not shopping when I'm hungry, distracting myself when I'm prone to snacking, identifying when I'm stress eating and developing other coping mechanisms. What skills or abilities do you need to make your change possible? Relationship skills? Budgeting skills? You may need to ask a partner or friend because we often don't see exactly where we're lacking. After you've identified those skills, start developing them. Get help, take a class, learn to use deliberate practice to acquire a new ability. It's an intentional learning strategy. Also, be aware that willpower can be an acquired skill. We don't think of it that way, but be encouraged, because it can be practiced and improved, just like other skills. Start small. Practice intentionally. Recruit a coach or a helper. Increase your skill level. I threw a lot of tactics at you today - this week and next will be tactic heavy. Super practical. So if you have that thing you want to change in your life. Take these tactics and start applying them. Recruit a friend to help you brainstorm ideas, hold you accountable and help you practice. Remember that change is a process and you're approaching it with the attitude of a research scientist. Try these tactics and evaluate the results. What worked? What needs changing? Your motivational statement isn't motivating? Try a new one. Your “why” isn't powerful enough? What would be?

On this episode of the podcast, the Two Guys with PhDs Talking about Comics review The Best American Comics 2014, the latest installment in Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's ambitious anthology series. This follows a previous review show published earlier in the week where the guys spoke with Bill Kartalopoulos, the new editor of the series. But whereas during the interview Derek and Andy learned about the process and backstory to the Best American Comics series, in this episode they plunge into the specifics of this year's volume and give their own takes on the comics included. They begin with a larger discussion on the concept of “best American comics,” the kind of audiences the annual collections appeal to, and the efforts of the editors in pulling together a select or representative anthology. Here, the guys return to issues they had previously highlighted in their review of The Best American Comics 2013: the predilections and experiences of guest editors, the challenges of being inclusive, as well as the viability of a “best of” anthology. This time around Andy and Derek bandy about definitions of “mainstream” and speculate on the book's intended audience. Although both feel that this is an intelligent and eclectic collection of comics (first appearing between September 1, 2012, and August 30, 2013), Derek feels that the book might appeal more to academics and the New Yorker crowd than it does to general comic shop-visiting readers. (Returning, once again, to a topic that the guys have discussed many times previously, the unintended bifurcation of comics readership.) Furthermore, he wonders what a volume guest edited by someone enmeshed in mainstream comics – and not just superhero comics – might look like…if that is indeed a direction that Houghton Mifflin Harcourt would sanction. Andy reminds Derek how inclusive this year's volume is, and that depending on your definition of “mainstream,” McCloud's includes several comics you could certainly define as “popular.” But despite these dialectics, both guys agree that this is one of the strongest collections in the series' run and that the way that McCloud has organized his presentation is compelling. In this year's volume you have selections from the grand figures of contemporary comics (e.g., R. Crumb, the Hernandez brothers, Charles Burns, Ben Katchor, and Adrian Tomine), all-age and young-adult comics, excerpts from memoir and autobiographical comics, historical works, experimenters of narrative form, abstract and avant-garde comics, and almost as a centerpiece, a selection from what McCloud christens “the book of the year,” Chris Ware's Building Stories. Webcomics are given their fair share of attention in this volume, and the guys understand McCloud's decision to highlight and list URLs instead of attempting to reproduce comics from another platform (although they're not as excited by the one webcomic that does find its way into the collection, an excerpt from Allie Brosh's “Depression Part Two”). All in all, the guys have a great time discussing the many selections in The Best American Comics 2014, and in doing so, they get all revved up for their own “best of” exercise which they will present in next week's podcast episode.

Allie Brosh is the creator of the popular comic Hyperbole and a Half, which is more than just extremely funny. It's been called one of the best contemporary portraits of depression. Allie and Marc talk about the ongoing struggle for sufferers of depression and how it forces Allie to channel her creativity. Also, Joel McHale drops in with some stories about his new movie A Merry Friggin' Christmas. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hyperbole and A Half (Simon and Schuster) Skylight Books is excited, stoked, and over-the-moon ecstatic to be hosting Allie Brosh, creator of the award-winning blog "Hyperbole and a Half." Never heard of "Hyperbole and A Half" and the book it spawned? Let Allie tell you about it. "This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative like maybe someone who isn't me wrote it but I soon discovered that I'm not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book:  Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness*  *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
