More Random Thoughts Episode 45

Random Thoughts Episode 45More Random Thoughts

In this week’s episode of The Djuna Shellam Podcast Episode 45, I share more random thoughts about writing, the business of writing, and the like.

As I mentioned last week, going forward, I’ll be doing more of this with the hopes of having more of a conversation, albeit one-sided, rather than a lecture of sorts.

WIP

It works for me at this moment because I’m working on finishing my sixth novel, A Woman Like Eve—Book 5—The Em Suite. My hope is to have it in readers’ hands by mid-summer. To accomplish that while keeping the podcast up and running, I have to be a bit freer with my podcast topics.

Random Thoughts

In this week’s podcast, my more random thoughts consist of how there seems to be a concerted effort by some (I can only guess) to disparage independent and small press publishing. Rather than champion a cause of independence and supporting those who are so determined to self-publish or publish in general, the opposite seems to be true. Not from all corners, but there’s enough negativity to ruffle my feathers.

I can only surmise that much of the contempt comes from snobby mainstream published authors, the big house publishers themselves, or envious “writers” who cannot manage to finish a project let alone publish it themselves.

Your Creative Brain

I also broach the subject of quantity vs quality, how I imagine the brain works, and how I manage my creative brain. No, I am not a brain specialist by any stretch of the imagination, but I’ve read studies about how the brain works creatively and have come to certain conclusions. For me, my conclusions make sense and, more than that, work in the way I think they might.

What’s not a more random thought is the weather. The weather is a staple in my podcasts and I explain why this week.

This week I will post Episode 45 via my podcast streamer, Spreaker; via video—BitChute and Rumble; and, I will also post an MP3 version. Last week saw record listens due to BitChute, for which I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you to all who took the time to listen!
