First Cup of Coffee – March 18, 2019

Our bougainvillea, a potted one we bring in for the winter, catching the evening light on its bright pink bracts.

Some updates and an honest look at my finances, along with an old story about grad school and how older women do - and don't - help rising ones in their field. This isn't the whoop-ass or passive-aggressive version of First Cup of Coffee that Grace Draven wanted, but I do mention the incident I blogged about last week (http://jeffekennedy.com/setting-the-record-straight/) where someone said I was territorial about SFF. This story gives context for why that accusation bothered me so much.

My new website should be live soon! So, I'm talking some about that, the news of the world - why it's better they ground airplanes than crash us in them - and various other thoughts on drafting and getting All The Things done.

On brand today, I go from talking about how much I loved The Umbrella Academy to the concept of sacrifice, spiritual growth and character transformation.

Bless me, listeners, for I have been away. It's been one week since my last podcast...
We had a great time in Tucson, so today is about our weekend mini-break and other catching up. I review Amanda Palmer's new album There Will Be No Intermission, and I'm talking a bit about tarot, messages from the universe, writer finances, and miscellaneous other thoughts about life. 
That's my mom and my aunt in the photo, toasting my mom's birthday.

A run-down today of how I analyze royalty statements, including the new challenge of figuring out Ingram Spark's arcane reporting system. And a bit of gushing on a lovely blurb from Grace Draven.

Reminiscing about my Brother Correctronic and how that likely shaped the way I write for discovery - and how I shape Act I of any book in general. Also news on the cover of Lonen's Reign!

I got to be outside today! Talking about my initial steps in starting a book and my template document. Also a cool dream I had, thoughts on SFWA elections, and balancing writing with other activities.

A new week and a new book! Some thoughts on not "saving" stuff for another book, plus musings on characters and why we love to follow them through series, True Detective, Game of Thrones, and bird song.
The book I mention is WALKING ON ALLIGATORS: A BOOK OF MEDITATIONS FOR WRITERS, by Susan Shaughnessy. (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1581822.Walking_on_Alligators)

Quick update on progress on LONEN'S REIGN, and some exciting news on my upcoming Forgotten Empires trilogy. The photo is Jackson finding his way to the top of the high kitchen cabinets where he's never been before. Yeah - everybody is getting tired of being stuck inside!
