"I should be writing" is what people say, but they rarely do it. This podcast is designed to help you get past those blocks, whether it's what your teacher told you when you were a kid, to being totally sure you'll never be as good as (FAV AUTHOR) so you might as well quit.

episode 64: Emotion and Death in Fiction
Let's ask the tough questions. How do you make a dead baby funny? How do you make a cozy murder mystery cozy when there's a decapitated corpse in chapter 4? It's all about emotion.
This works for sex too, which I don't mention. In the 90s, Rachel and Monica on Friends were considered the feminine sex appeal of the decade, but both appeared in lingerie on the show and it was ... not sexy because of the emotion in the scene. ("The One With Rachel's New Dress" and "The One with Rachel's Sister", respectively)
Oh- Doggo update, the vet didn't want to do XRays since they won't do anything immediately anyway, and we already have sedation + Xrays planned for next month schedule and paid for, so we are going to wait till then. So she got to go to the vet for free and get fussed over by her fan club all day with no actual vet prodding, which is not a bad way to live, all things considered. (She loves the vet because they love her there.)
