  • Episode 234: Writer Development
    2025/01/13
    In this week's episode, we take a look at why it is good for writers to read outside their genre, and consider how writers develop with experience. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Ghost in the Veils, Book #2 in the Ghost Armor Series, (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy) at my Payhip store: VEILS50 The coupon code is valid through January 31, 2025. So if you need a new audiobook for the January weather, we’ve got you covered! 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 234 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is January the 10th, 2025. I have just finished shoveling some snow and today we are going to discuss how writers develop. Before we get to our main topic, we will do Coupon of the Week, an update my current writing projects, and then Question of the Week. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Ghost in the Veils, book number two in the Ghost Armor series (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy), on my Payhip store. That coupon code is VEILS50 and that is VEILS50. The coupon code and the link will be in the show notes. The coupon code is valid through January 31st, 2025, so if you need a new audiobook for the chilly January weather, we have got you covered. Now let's take a look at where I'm at with my current ebook writing and audiobook projects. As of this recording, I am 82,000 words into Shield of Deception, which puts me on chapter 19 of 31. As I've said before, this is going to be a long one. I think the rough draft is going to end up around 110 to 115,000 words long. We'll see when I get there. I was hoping to have it out in January, but now I am definitely planning that it's going to slip until February just because it's so long. My secondary project is Ghost in the Tombs and I am now 10,000 words into that, I'm pleased to say, and that should be out in March. I'm also 37,000 words into Stealth and Spells Online: Reactant, but that won't be out until this summer. In audiobook news, recording and proofing is done for Cloak of Masks, as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy. If all goes well, that should be out on all the audiobook stories before too much longer. And in fact, I think it's already shown up on Chirp and Kobo and few of the other ones, but it's not up on Audible or Apple yet. Hollis has now started work on Cloak of Dragonfire, so that will be the next audiobook out once Cloak of Masks comes out. Leanne Woodward is working on Orc-Hoard, which would be the fourth book in the Rivah Half-Elven series and hopefully that should be out sometime in February, if all goes well. So that's where I'm at with my current writing projects. 00:02:19 Question of the Week Now let's move on to Question of the Week. It's time for Question of the Week, which is intended to inspire enjoyable discussions of interesting topics. This week's question: what game are you playing in 2025 so far? No wrong answers obviously, including not playing games at all. The inspiration for this question was of course the fact that 2025 is a new year. Surabhi says: I've never been much of a gamer myself. The farthest I got was playing Subway surfers on my phone, but apart from that, I don't really get an appeal to play. Some video games are more complex and thoughtful and they can even prompt new writing ideas. It's something that's been on my mind for a while as an aspiring author and I think I give some games a try just in case they give me plot or vibe ideas. Wondering what you think about that. That is in fact an interesting thought and one I've thought about before, and I will probably go into that in future blog posts and podcast episodes, just not on Question of the Week. Michael says: I have been continuing my long play through Horizon Forbidden West (which is epic), also dipped into Path of Exile 2, which makes my brain hurt with all the character build options. Ioana says: Does Words of Wonders on my phone count? Yes. Yes, it does. A different Michael says: I've been playing Final Fantasy 14 for the last 11 years. It's a great game, but I am taking a break. At the moment, I am playing the newest version of 7 Days to Die on PlayStation 5. Now that it has been upgraded to the latest version available on PC, it's an awesome game. It has its glitches, but that's okay. I enjoy it. Juana says: PlayStation 5 Diablo 2 Reforged. Adeline says: Still playing Overwatch on the PC but also branched into a virtual jigsaw puzzle. On the phone, it's mostly word/puzzle games, Word Collect, Blockudoku, Sudoku, Traffic Escape, and Cryptogram. Scott says: I'm playing my second play through of the new Dragon Age. Indiana Jones is next or another run of Dragon Age. Becca says: Right now, the yearly replay of the Mass Effect series. Cole says: I've been playing Civilization 6 and New World: Aeternum. Both I've played in the past...

  • Episode 233: Anatomy of a 10,000 Word Writing Day
    2025/01/06
    In this week's episode, I take a look at what goes into writing 10,000 words of a rough draft in a single day. Coupon of the Week returns! This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Ghost in the Serpent, Book #1 in the Ghost Armor series, (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy) at my Payhip store: SERPENT50 The coupon code is valid through January 24, 2025. So if you need a new audiobook for the new year, we’ve got you covered! 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to episode 233 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is January 3, 2025, making this the first episode of 2025, and we are a quarter of the way through the 21st Century. Today we are looking into what goes into a 10,000 word writing day and how I managed to do ten 10,000 writing word days in 2024. We’ll also do Coupon of the Week, an update on my current writing projects, and Question of the Week. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. As you might remember from last year, I did do Coupon of the Week for the blog last year, but I sort of fell off doing it in June and never got back around to it. But the new year is time for new endeavors, so we're doing Coupon of the Week again (hopefully in a more organized and sustainable way this time). So this week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Ghost in the Serpent, Book One in the Ghost Armor series, as excellent narrated by Hollis McCarthy at my Payhip store. The coupon code is SERPENT50, and that is SERPENT50 (all in caps). Again, that is SERPENT50. The coupon code is valid through January 24th, 2025. So if you need a new audiobook for the new year, we've got you covered. The coupon code and the store link will be in the show notes below. So that is this week's Coupon of the Week. Now let's move on to my current writing projects. Every year for the past couple of years, I've published a short collection with all the short stories I published in the previous year, and I'm pleased to report that 2024: The complete Short Stories is available now and you can get it for $0.99 USD at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Google Play Apple Books, Payhip, and Smashwords. It's only going to be 99 cents for the month of January, so now would be a good time to get that. I'm surprised how many people buy the anthology because I give away the short stories for free with all my newsletters throughout the year, but people have told me it's more convenient to have one bundle of the short stories that they just get for $0.99. So that's what we're going to do. You can get that for $0.99 through January 31st. In writing progress, I am now currently 50,000 words into Shield of Deception, which puts me on chapter 12 of 31. So I think I'm between 35 and 40% of the way through the rough draft. It depends on how long the book's going to end up being, but I think it's going to be around 110 to 120,000 words. I'm also about 7,000 words into Ghost in the Assembly, and if all goes well, I'm hoping Shield of Deception will come out this month and Ghost in the Assembly will come out in February, but that may slip by a month because as I said, Shield of Deception is going to be a very long book. In audiobook news, proofing is underway for Cloak of Masks, so I'm confident that will be out in January and that is excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy. Leanne Woodward is currently recording Orc-Hoard, the fourth book in the Rivah Half-Elven series. So that is where I'm at with my current writing projects. 00:03:06 Question of the Week Now let's do Question of the Week, which is intended to inspire enjoyable discussions of interesting topics. This week's question: do you make New Year's Resolutions? No wrong answers, obviously. The inspiration for the question was the fact that I posted this on New Year's Day. I had a few responses to this. Mary says: No, I did do a few things getting cleaned up on the day and switched the calendars at midnight. Bob says: Never have. I feel it's best to resolve problems as they occur. Cheryl says: Not anymore. I never kept them, so I gave up making them. Gary says: Not resolutions per se. It is a good time though, to take stock and evaluate whether I'm doing the things I should be doing to get where I would like to be. Tracy says: Nope, roll the dice and go! LOL. Jean says: I'm just good with making it through the year. Still intact, LOL. I can't argue with that. Venus says: The last resolution I made, many years ago, was to never make another New Year's Resolution. For myself, no, I don't really do New Year's Resolutions. I suppose my writing goals for 2025 might qualify, but I have enough books that I essentially own a small publisher now, so it's just sensible to make good business goals for the year. In my personal life, if I need to make some kind of change, I try to do it at once. The most successful personal changes I've made throughout my life ...
