Updates on SEASONS OF SORCERY - including that the print versions are now live! - and celebrating our #1 spot. Otherwise I'm discussing my reasons for doing this podcast, how wordcount waxes and wanes, and why I feel learning to write to deadline is critical.

Thoughts today on starting the story in the right place, how to weave in backstory without bogging down the velocity of the opening, and how this is never easy. I'm giving a specific example with the TWINSTAR collaboration and how we've ended up doing a scrape and rebuild with the concept. Also a review of the movie A Star Is Born, which spoils the ending, so beware. However, on this fourth remake, I think I was *the only person in the world" who didn't know how it ended. But if you're like me and don't want to know, beware of spoilers.

Warning: politics. Midterm elections in the U.S. are tomorrow, so voting is on my mind, along with all the feelings coming up from the 2016 that was so traumatic for so many of us. There's also a funny story about Grace Draven and her story, A WILDERNESS OF GLASS, for our SEASONS OF SORCERY anthology, and what "playing the bone flute" means to me. And a bit of practical discussion on how I'm handling the move from an iPhone to android, and thus moving my music library from iTunes to Google Play Music.

With the veil thin between worlds today, I'm thinking about sending and receiving messages, imagination, and transforming ourselves into something else. Also the reverse face of that, becoming moribund and inflexible, losing that childhood openness.

Last Friday I had podcast troubles, it was a wonky day for other reasons, and on Saturday my cell phone died. All of these things conspired to mess me up on many levels, most importantly my writing rituals and habits, which I often talk about as critical for productive creativity. So today I'm offering three ideas for how to salvage a day like that - and how to actually embrace it!
