    Hi all! This week, we’ll talk about how Kevin has been out of spell slots and why it took almost a week to fix last week’s episode. We also discuss Ursula’s status, the horror movie rewatch we are doing, and have a “guest appearance” by Sergi. After all that, we talk to Katie Mazeika about how she stays productive!

    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!

    Episode 285 – Boring Week, Anne “Tyrrlin” Williams
    byKevin Sonney

    Apologies for the mic issues in the opening discussion, I have no idea what happened there. This week in our productivity updates we have a normal, not very exciting, and typical week. This is a good thing! We also talk about Ursula’s soon-to-be-updated eyeglasses, Kevin’s hurry-up-and-wait time fillers, an update on our planned trip to HI, and a chicken update. After that, we have a catch-up interview with Anne “Tyrrlin” Williams!
