We start the episode off with a quick conversation about J.R.R. Tolkien's writing style. Eventually, we get onto the topic of how to write a modern story using, or not using, cell phones. It's a lot more interesting topic than we first realized.

We start the episode by discussing the greatest opening paragraphs and lines in literature. After that, we get down to business and take a deep dive into the importance of emotions in your writing. We break down how we go about eliciting emotions in the reader, ways to go about doing so without being boring or over the top, and the art of nuance in your writing.

For February's Book of the Month, we've chosen to read "Devil in a Blue Dress" by Walter Mosley. We highly recommend you start reading the Easy Rawlins series right away! You won't regret it.

Caleb reads Brian Abbey's hilarious story, My First Kiss of Shame.
An American moves to Romania and attends a party. Things are going alright until the guest of honor shows up. To the American's surprise, that guest turns out to be Lucifer! Even more surprising, or horrifying depending on how you look at it, all the other partygoers begin lining up to take turns kissing Lucifer's anus. And pretty soon, it will be the American's turn!

This episode is PACKED with great topics! We start things off with a quick bit about the intro of Walter Mosley's The Devil in the Blue Dress. Then we discuss Lord of the Rings and its literary merit.
Once we get to the main topic, we go over the top ten greatest American authors of the 20th century. We cover an interesting list we found online and tweak it to our liking. We end things by discussing what novels we feel should be considered as The Great American Novel.

We start things off with an interesting conversation about Microsoft Word's new "woke" editing feature. After that, we chat it up with some dialogue talk. Finally, we get to the real topic of the day and devote a good portion of the episode to discussing how to reclaim your creative life.
Many of us struggle with creating (in our case, writing) because life seems to always beat us down. It's hard to find your rhythm and get things going the way you want them to. But we might have a solution. One you probably won't like to hear.

If you want to learn how to properly pace your stories, there are probably better ways to do that. But they probably won't be nearly as entertaining.

We open up things by briefly discussing how our writing and reading goals are starting this new year. After that, oh, we get into it! We have a long conversation on an article written about Stephen King recently. In the article, Stephen King has been exposed as being fatphobic and possibly having negative views of women.
Also, make sure to stick around after the outro for a brief bit of absolute idiocy created by yours truly.
