    Freelancing and Releases - The Bradbury Challenge Ep 22

    Rated: Clean Crissy talks about how it felt to write full time. Now that she’ll have to go back to work soon some decisions need to be made. She also finished two short stories and sent them to her mailing list. Meanwhile, Maya began her travels, worked on formatting, and releasing her first short story release. Gerald will be back soon much to our relief, it’s just not the same! FYI, This episode should have been number 20 but in editing the backlog of episodes I got them all mixed up. This Weeks Writing Prompt: You are in a coffee shop and there is a ceiling fan and it is covered in ice-cream and there is ice-cream all over the walls.

    Becoming More Productive - Bradbury Challenge Ep 18

    Rated: PG-13 due to innuendo Maya empties her nest, all three of us struggled with time. Gerald only wrote ONE story! I know, the horror lol. We discuss practical solutions to being more productive. Disclaimer: So these episodes are coming out very late and in quick succession. Due to stress and organizational difficulties I had to make a choice. Either be even later, or use subpar audio. The next 4 episodes are not up to our audio standard so please bare with us until we are back to our normal standard. This Weeks Writing Prompt: A steampunk airship floating through the sky

    About Bad Sex Scenes - Bradbury Challenge Ep 17

    Rated: Explicit So these episodes are coming out very late and in quick succession. Due to stress and organizational difficulties I had to make a choice. Either be even more late, or use subpar audio. The next 5 episodes are not up to our audio standard so please bare with us until we are back to our normal standard. This week Gerald wrote two stories, Crissy has post project depression and Maya realizes that the short story challenge is re-invigorating the poetry part of her brain. Crissy was challenged by time management and we here how she overcame. Gerald was also challenged by time management as he prepares for his road trip. Maya was challenged by her anxiety and just so much happening all at one as she ditches her belongings and moves to… where. We also talk writers conferences, fight scenes and sex scenes. This Weeks Writing Prompt: You’ve just moved house and in a cupboard you find a bloody knife.

    Rated: Mildly Explicit This week Gerald finished his archetype series and Maya used the writing prompt from the last episode. Crissy also did well and prepared a story for publication. For much of this slightly off topic episode, we discuss Hue Howey and Stephen King, then Gerald get’s us back on topic and we talk about why we write. This Weeks Writing Prompt: You are cleaning your files on your computers and you find one that you don’t remember putting there and all it says is, “Remember.”
