Digitally Intelligent Neohuman

I’m starting a daily... “plog” (that’s a vlog that’s a podcast; is there a word for this?) to look at digital content creation as I experience and observe it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dinchamion/message

In this episode, we're left without a guest. Consequently, we discuss sci-fi vs. fantasy, and Greg thoroughly offends everybody.

We sat down with Katie "Your Writer Big Sister" Masters. The nickname is fitting: she runs the Twitter hashtag #WritersTable and acts as our supportive big sister when we feel down or unsure. She's also a crazy productive writer, a super fun nerdy person, and we've couldn't be happier to talk with her about all sorts of things. Make sure you say hi to Katie on Twitter, and follow the #WritersTable hashtag to find your tribe! Katie’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/Katie_Masters29 #WritersTable:...

WE BROKE GREG! He got speechless! Let’s rejoice! We also packed a lot of goodness into this episode: advice and insights left and right!

Greg talks a lot. About copyright and left, and all there is to that. Martyn, on the other hand, has been writing, and shares insights about his process.

Greg read an article and snapped his chains… now he’s out in the yard and barking non-stop. Sorry. 😛 With good reason, though. We just can’t fathom the idiocy from corporations and the abuse of fandom. We just can’t.

Greg’s still in the doghouse — barking a lot. 😛 We discuss fan fiction (turns out, Martyn’s a Trekkie! Who knew?) and the benefits (and dangers!) of putting work and passion into them. We also talk about why today’s the best time to be writing fan fiction, the death of originality, and a lot more. Send us your fanfic!

This week Martyn explains the ins and outs of self-publishing. (He’s a talker! 😛) We also discuss the differences of indie creators in writing and other art forms, talk about audiobooks, and how to promote yourself as a self-publishing author.

We* talk mostly about adaptations: the pitfalls, the mistakes... and found a great writing exercise for you! 😉 *: Greg talks a lot.
