But we’re getting there, we’re getting there. I’m sitting in a camp chair with a lap desk on top of a fold-up ottoman. I still don’t have a bed frame, couch, or table, or oven. Found a school for the kid, bought furniture, not everything. Three bedrooms, giant downstairs, right smack dab in the middle of a small town that’s between two larger cities, small cities, and then 20, 30 minutes away from the capitol, 20 minutes away from the airport. We did look at one other one, we didn’t go inside it, we just looked at the neighborhood and we were like, nope, first one. We flew in Friday, we visited a house Friday, and that is the house I now live in. And then we got in, we visited a house that very first night.
But thankfully the airport or the airline covered all that, which is the first time I’ve done that. Not anything against New Jersey, just Newark people. Our flight got canceled an hour before we were going to leave the house and we did end up leaving that evening, but we had this layover in New Jersey, ew. We were supposed to fly in two weeks ago today. Tell me your things.Ĭrys: I’m finally back in Costa Rica. How about you, though? Tell me your life. Particularly if you’re of a science-y mind, the way he approaches it is really going to work for you. I feel like that’s the dullest language possible to describe it. Story hypothesis is about finding your theme and using that to supercharge your stories. So it’s something that I hopefully will have something to share with the broader community.Ĭrys: Excellent. Yeah, so I enjoyed the process and I think that it’s something that people responded positively to. JP: Yeah, there was a really nice refining process in having to make the presentation and then talk through it. Because in saying it out loud, you’re going to be like, ooh, actually, no, I don’t think that’s right at all. And yeah, so that’s been the big thing I’ve been working on, and then I’ve been getting back into some edits and all that fun stuff that I’m just trying to do all at once.Ĭrys: Yeah, I find the best way to figure out if you actually know something slash form your thoughts about it, is try to explain it to someone else or teach it to them. And I was like, oh, you’re right.Ĭrys: I just wanted to let people know who are like, what the hell is TASM, that is The Author Success Mastermind, the author community group that JP and I are part of. I was just like, what’s wrong with me? Why am I so tired? And Crys is like, I don’t know, maybe because you’ve been preparing for this. Just collecting my own thoughts into something that I can cohesively present to others, but also the mental preparation of that kind of preparation and presentation. And that took a lot more brain space than I thought it was going to. But also, I’ve been working on a presentation that I gave to the TASM groups Essential Gathering, on my thoughts on theme. JP: I came back from insanity and ended up with a pseudo insanity with the day job. And I think, whatever, that happens, it’s adulting.Ĭrys: Gross, adulting. And we’ve both been in different kinds of insanity.Īnd so thankfully it’s been equal for being like, hi, I’m not ignoring you. JP: That is entirely true and it’s entirely too long.Ĭrys: Indeed. I’m your host, Crys Cain, with my cohost…Ĭrys: Hi, it’s been a whole two weeks since we have sat alone in a zoom room without other people and caught up. It’s a little early with American holidays coming up soon. It is Thursday, November 18th as we’re recording this. The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald MaassĬrys: Hello, friends.
