what's up, deck?

writing angst, or welcome to the pain cave

This writing focused episode covers such a breadth of topics and is one of my all time favorites. It's also 18+. Sample conversation includes... * in defense of fanfiction * the art of writing good kink * what your AO3 tags say about you * what does and does not qualify as slow burn * explicitly gay shit * and the most interesting definition of "dramatic irony" you've ever learned (take that, english class) Please enjoy the conversation between me and my writing bestie Em (they / them). Welcome to the writer's class you always wanted and never got. Book a reading, workshop, or shop the store at lianamarie.squarespace.com [https://lianamarie.squarespace.com/]
