    Just a girl in the world, loving your podcast, and unabashedly BEGGING you to please continue your recap of the Daughters of the Moon series. Just found your podcast and living for the early 2000’s content. Had no one to talk to about books as a preteen (so lonely!) so to have found you guys and your catalog of old book recaps has been the delight of my entire year! Come on ladies let’s douse ourselves in millennial glitter and fight to the end of the series!

233. House of Earth and Blood- Revisited! "Let's do something with this potential!"
Q: Do you feel like being able to create theories or you're like, no, I'm straight up vibing now that I know where the story went?
Long-time listeners will know I hate theorizing. I hate it. However, the pattern, the pattern, specifically the ACOFAE's pattern, does everything check out for this book in the first five chapters? Absolutely yes.
Pop Culture Poetry 002: The Tortured Poets Department.
Q: What was it like experiencing all of these feelings that these songs kind of pull out of us?
It creates a collective energy where everyone's cathartic release merges, making the concert experience even more intense.
SPECIAL EPISODE 015: Our new friend, Amber Chen!
Q: What was that process like for you?
Amber describes her writing approach as a mix between plotting and pantsing, using a roadmap of story ideas with clear endpoints.
SPECIAL EPISODE 015: Our new friend, Amber Chen!
Q: What was your publishing journey like for this?
Amber shares that her path included starting in fan fiction, progressing to Wattpad, and eventually pitching her work for traditional publishing.
SPECIAL EPISODE 019: Our new friend, Melissa Landers!
Q: What was it like sitting down and creating a fantasy world in comparison to when you create a sci-fi kind of situation?
Fantasy was a thousand times harder than science fiction because in fantasy, there are no rules. Writing science fiction has boundaries, while in fantasy, the boundaries don't exist and you have to create everything.
