    UPDATED: Fixed the audio edit that had the outro in the middle of the interview.

    This week we discuss Ursula’s med changes, and how that is impacting her productivity – which it shouldn’t, since she’s allowing herself to use the adjustment period as “sick time.” After that, we have an awesome talk with Jazzlyn Stone, freelance comics marketer and writer!

    I apologize for this one being a day late, but I brought home an unwelcome guest from Anthrocon called COVID-19. I am on my way to recovery (thanks to anti-virals and a LOT of rest), and so here it is, the long-awaited (by me anyway) interview with Mary Robinette Kowal! Enjoy!

    Between the start of Daylight Savings Time here in the US, a weekend spent cutting down trees, and the weather, it has been a challenge this last week being productive, but somehow we managed. Hear all about it before we have a lovely chat with Gary “Fleenguy” Tyrrell about how he stays productive!

    Note: Between the recording of this episode and the release, I have decided to no longer support Noodler’s Inks, and will not be linking to them from this point forward.
