S20 Ep34: In Which Mur Looks Into The Pit of Despair and Sees a Tiger [Explicit] "Don't talk yourself out of being creative, because that really is the biggest thing that stops us is ourselves." (This post went live for supporters on November 14, 2024.

NOTE: It occurs to me that I have three explicit episodes--32, 33, 34--in a row. But one was a casual interview, one was rage, and one was despair. So we will get back to nice clean episodes soon. I promise.) Recorded two days after the 2024 election, and I'm in deep despair in this episode. It's casual, with a lot of talk about ADHD and masking and what "writers" are supposed to do. We talk about the importance of embracing one's identity as a writer, regardless of external expectations. I also talk about my upcoming cozy fantasy project, inspired by the likes of Legends & Lattes and T. Kingfisher's boks, and the challenges of discussing creative work prematurely. <a href= "https://murverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/isbw-s20-ep34.docx" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Transcript</a> Links: <ul> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Terry Pratchett</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Bradbury" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ray Bradbury</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.richarddansky.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Richard Dansky</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Discworld</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cure" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Cure</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smiths" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Smiths</a></li> <li><a href="https://terribleminds.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Chuck Wendig</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/Taskmaster" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Taskmaster</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.travisbaldree.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Travis Baldree</a> (Legends and Lattes)</li> <li><a href="http://www.redwombatstudios.com" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">T.
