S20 Ep 12: In Which Mur Plans to Turn Hurt Feelings into Finished Drafts
Transcript
"I read over the notes and I got mad and I got my feelings hurt." - Mur (being fussy)
I've received my edit letter about Infinite Archive, so I'm handling all the emotions that carries with it. ADHD complicated my perception of time, so figuring out how long it will take me is a challenge.
Valerie Valdes joins the chat with some excellent advice, like adding extra time to your deadlines to account for the unexpected. Then we touch on the basic concept of "someone comes to town, someone leaves down" (also a Cory Doctorow book title.)
We also touch on the concept of love triangles in fiction, sparking a conversation about the trope's effectiveness and its alternatives.
