Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

#150: Modern Writing Blues

We kick things off by discussing if we think any movie or movie franchise will ever be able to replicate Avengers Endgame. We also go into the current state of Marvel movies and comic books a bit.

After that, we go into some fun writing talk. We cover reading and writing burnout, the problem with writing stories in a contemporary setting, and why these darn kids today are screwing up text messaging.

#149: We Ruin Celebrity Love Letters

After recording one of the worst episodes we've ever done, we immediately deleted it and recorded this one instead. 

We start off reading some wholesome love letters written by famous people throughout history, but things take a hard turn and we end up ruining them with our awful, dirty brains. And then we read James Joyce's smut letters and things really go off the rails. This episode is definitely not NSFW.

BOTM #14: Becoming The Boogeyman By Richard Chizmar

Today, we are reviewing our October Book of the Month, Becoming the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar. 

The sequel to the critically acclaimed Chasing the Boogeyman, Becoming the Boogeyman picks up where the first novel leaves off.

SPOILER ALERT: We discuss and spoil both novels in this episode. But we do give two separate warnings before we do so, which means you can listen to some of the episode even if you haven't read either book. 

You can pick up a copy of Becoming the Boogeyman on Amazon,  Barnes and Noble, or wherever you get your books.
