S2:E22 – Quarantine Week 4

Another installment of our unscripted insanity

Two story enthusiasts, Stephanie and Jordyn cuddle up in a blanket fort, drink tea, and dive into different aspects of writing each week. In week 4 of quarantine, we are edging closer to losing our minds. Sorry if the quality isn't as good, but Jordyn hasn't quite figured Audacity out yet after losing her other computer. This is also the reason for no intro. Jordyn also can't remember what was talked about even though she just edited this episode, so you're in for a surprise treat. Enjoy!

At least one of those things is related to writing! If you'd like to join our Writing Group, WritersEmerging, for Camp Nanowrimo, send us your details so we can add you. Stay healthy everyone.

Three story enthusiasts (Stephanie, Kayla, and Jordyn) cuddle up in a blanket fort, drink tea, and dive into different aspects of writing each week.

She's leaving us, unfortunately, and we'll be in a bit of an adjustment period for a while. Next week we'll be discussing the merits of Audiobooks. Hope to see you then!

S2:E12 – Sex in Romance

Crafting a convincing sex scene

Three story enthusiasts (Stephanie, Kayla, and Jordyn) cuddle up in a blanket fort, drink tea, and dive into different genres of writing each month. A good portion of the romance genre includes sex, so we have dedicated an entire episode to it. If you'd like to know how to write a good one, and hear some examples of ones so bad they won the Bad Sex in Fiction Award, given by Literary Review, this is the right episode for you. We hold nothing back in this episode, so it is for listeners over 18 years of age. Next week we return to our usual clean content. If you'd like more recommendations that aren't so intense, let Jordyn know. She has compiled a much larger list since we recorded this episode.

Referenced Material: The List of the Lost by Morrissey Things to Make and Break by May-Lan Tan Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas Chemical by Lexa Kline

Another by Lexa Kline that is equally as magnificent, but less intense in the content is Sgàile Leannan: Book One of The McClary Chronicles. I wasn't up for pronouncing the gaelic words during recording so I left it out, but I'm throwing it in here. She's a brilliant author.
