Apologies again for the slightly annoying sound in this episode. Recording issues again. This happens when the two hosts have a planet between them. The sound does improve as the podcast progresses.
We start off by talking about the constant process of ruminating on ideas for our writing during everyday life and how we grab those ideas before they’re lost.
We go on to talk about the nature of lowest common denominator publishing.
Anything He Wants (Dominated by the Billionaire) series
This leads us to talk about the healthy or unhealthy nature of the role models these books encourage.
We move on to the poor woman who tried to restore a painting in a church in Spain.
The terrible painting restoration
We talk about this self-delusion of skills as it relates to writing.
We talk about working at your craft to get good at it.
We then discuss the strange goings-on recently with Weird Tales magazine in connection with the book, Save The Pearls.
This is how you destroy something beautiful – N K Jemisin’s post on Weird Tales -

And more from Jeff Vandemeer on the whole situation -
We talk about the effect things like this have on how writers submit their work.
Three, count 'em, three outtakes at the end!
