We were totally delighted to hang out with one of the forefathers of the awesome Realm Makers conference in these episodes, Kerry Nietz! Kerry, as he says, is a refugee from software engineering, and is the author of Amish Vampires in Space (as seen on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon!)

In Episode 46:

  • How Kerry structures his writing time so he can end his session in the middle of a scene.
  • Oh, Scrivner, do we love thee? Let us count the ways...
  • Kerry's really good first drafts, and how he handles editing.
  • Developing a thick skin! (Metaphorically...)
  • Developing habits to overcome writer's block (literally...)
  • Mayans, mythology, and vampire gods - Oh My!
  • Never stop writing-never surrender!
  • The differences in traditional publishing versus self-publishing, at least from Kerry's perspective.

Too lazy to type out the links while you're listening? We've got you covered! (If they don't work, it's Liberty's fault....)
