    S2E11 - Death & Taxes (Therapy Session)

    S2E11 - Death & Taxes (Therapy Session)

    We promise, we're still a writing podcast. Anyway, this week we have a little life chat and therapy session while we talk about the realities of life and where we are at the moment. It's a bit of a trip and one hell of ride, but we're stuck on this rollercoaster so might as well make the most of it. There's the anniversary of LJ's second book, but we have more important things on our mind! Like the permanence of our endless choices and the daunting visions of the rest of our lives. Cheery! Listen and see for yourself!

    S2E10 - Living, Breathing Writing

    S2E10 - Living, Breathing Writing

    This week, Larissa and LJ tacking writing mediums! No, there are no ghosts, only different ways writing can be presented, or perceived to the audience (ok so kinda like ghosts). But we talk about creative mediums we've tried, we've seen, ways that modern media can be translated, and just talk about our favorite tv shows for a bit. It's summer now, so it's hot! Make sure to cool down inside with this new episode!

    S2E8 - We Have Other Hobbies?

    S2E8 - We Have Other Hobbies?

    In the very essence of what we're doing, this week we're talking about taking a break from writing! Where we are both absolutely overloaded with pretty much everything life is throwing at us, Larissa and LJ go over the importance of taking a break from writing, avoiding burnout, and some of our other hobbies. You mean we have a life outside of writing? Who woulda thought.

    S2E7 - Larissa's Birthday Bash

    S2E7 - Larissa's Birthday Bash

    Larissa turned 20, so now we have her birthday bash! Keeping up with this exciting sorta-gameshow format we've been enjoying, today we are answering the questions that YOU asked us! We had a lot of really great questions and had lots of fun answering them, and even got a little deeper than we expected too. But that's ok, because a lot of this is reflection on where we've come from and where we are now, and it's amazing how time passes! Go wish Larissa a happy birthday, and tune into this weeks' episode!

    S2E6 - I Can Fix Her

    S2E6 - I Can Fix Her

    Welcome to the next and best game show, the Behind the Books episode where Larissa and LJ play kiss, marry, kill, with everyone's (but mostly ours) favorite trios! We take characters from books, tv, movies, and even our own wips, and delve into some serious (and probably unpopular) discussion on how we could pick -- if we even can. Play along at home, and let us know if you agree, because this was probably some of the hardest decisions of our lives!
