007 - Beta Reading
<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">After bouts of illness, work travel, and an extended period that can only be described as “no dopamine, only adrenaline,” there’s finally a new episode! Steph and Trevor catch up about progress on their projects and then dive into the topic of having other people read your work. What is beta reading? Why is what Steph and Trevor do for one another not really beta reading? How do we get betas and apply feedback? How do you find the note within the note? What other roles are there for people reading your work? And why is this rhetorical question format what we landed on for the episode description? </p>

006 - Writing When Writing is your Day Job
<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In this loose, long-awaited, and longer-than-usual episode, Stephanie and Trevor commiserate about a season of sickness, debrief on Steph’s NaNoWriMo win and the final chapter of The Pantser who Planned, discuss Steph’s newest release, and then dig in on what it’s like to write creatively when writing is also your day job. In between discussions of developing a sense of audience and voice, they indulge in asides about author socials, how wardrobe helps you find your audience at events, new Doctor Who, and bizarrely, Tony Curran’s oeuvre. They do the slowest-ever lightning round of pros and cons of writing when writing is your day job, touching on planning, ego death, and busted hands, among other things. Also, Stephanie administers a test on Bishop. </p>

005 - Writer’s Block
<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Bishop receives an upgrade, which Trevor immediately needs to fix. Stephanie reports on her experience as The Pantser Who Plans. We discuss writer's block in the context of Steph's work. Trevor looks to a hundred-year-old model of the creative process to help understand why he doesn't really experience writer's block. They explore different solutions to writer's block, ways to lessen the impact of it, and what the hustle-culture "no zero days" philosophy can look like when applied in a healthy way. Be gentle with yourselves, writers, and enjoy. <a href="https://www.writingandrobots.com/flash-fiction">A new writing prompt is available!</a> And stick around for a post-credits scene. </p>
