Write Drunk, Edit Sober | Nit Writs Episode 25

***SPOILER ALERT!! Spoilers for Darkmore (Zodiac Academy spinoff), Maasverse, and Bonded by Thorns!*** In this episode we have a nice little end of semester virtual drink together and do a writing exercise! Sam had lots to say about recently finishing Darkmore and debating what book she should read next and we spend lots of time discussing our writing, etc. We didn’t have a focus for the exercise and really we more just wrote together and then read our work. It was fun and interesting to discuss our stories as always!

Spoilers for Zodiac Academy ALL of Zodiac Academy and some of Ruthless Fae!*** Please don’t listen unless you’ve read the entire Zodiac Academy main series! In this episode, we discuss the ENDING of the full main Zodiac Academy series and Sam’s start to Ruthless Fae! We thought we’d shut up after finishing the main series but Sam is already deep into Ruthless Fae so onward we go! This was a fun reaction episode where we could finally talk freely and be at the same level of understanding. Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

Spoilers for Zodiac Academy up to Book 8 Chapter 3 (and a random Throne of Glass spoilers because of comparisons/etc) so proceed with caution!*** In this episode, we discuss character arcs and Save the Cat beat sheet/series progression as we once again giggle about where Sam is in Zodiac (Allie has finished it and was in the middle of 8.5 at the time of recording). There’s certain HUGE things that happen at the end of 7 so we had a lot to reel about! And lots of thoughts about conflict and how far you can push characters, etc.  Give it a listen and let us know what you think!
