S20 Ep29: In Which Mur and Cat Rambo Discuss Writing, Accountability, and Intelligent Spaceships "I think that right now there are so many very interesting and original voices that can never be replicated." - Cat Rambo Join me in welcoming author, community builder, former SFWA president, and all around awesome person Cat Rambo. We dive into Cat’s writing journey, discussing their latest series featuring intelligent spaceships and former mercenaries turned restaurateurs. Cat shares their unique approach to starting a story, the importance of accountability, and how they manage their prolific output despite the challenges all writers face. Cat also talks about their recent projects, reveals their outlining process, the value of community in their Patreon, and future plans, including a horror novel set in 1976 South Bend, Indiana. <a href= "https://murverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/isbw-s20-ep29-transcript.docx" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Transcript</a> Links: <ul> <li> <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/91235/9781250269393" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Rumor Has It</a> by Cat Rambo </li> <li> <a href="https://www.catrambo.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cat Rambo</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/catrambo/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cat's Patreon</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.jenniferbrozek.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jennifer Brozek</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.redwombatstudio.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ursula Vernon</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://mauricebroaddus.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Maurice Broaddus</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.williamgibsonbooks.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bill Gibson</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://karenjoyfowler.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Karen Joy Fowler</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.nisishawl.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Nisi Shawl</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.octaviabutler.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Octavia Butler</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.stardewvalley.net/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Stardew Valley</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://escapepod.org/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Escape Pod</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.raynayler.net/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ray Naylor</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.demontheory.net/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Stephen Graham Jones</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://savethecat.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Save the Cat</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.robertmccammon.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Robert McCammon</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://stephenking.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Stephen King</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.griffon-bookstore.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Griffin Bookstore</a> </li> </ul> Evergreen Links <ul> <li> Like the podcast?
