We're writers! That's why we're here! What else would we be doing, except procrastinating and fighting laggy internet connections? Oh wait, we're doing that, too.
Week 2 of the Final Chapter Games brings back authors Lindsey Miller and Kara M. Zone, and fellow podcaster Megan from Cantina Book Club. This week, we trade quips, make up words, and flirt with the Hoot button.

Sometimes, the ending of a book leaves you begging for more. Sometimes, it has you pouring back through the pages, looking for all of the hints to the big reveal that were hidden along the way. And sometimes, the ending leaves you so flabbergasted that you wind up inventing a rubric system to describe your frustration because words aren't working.

We're getting close to the end of These Vengeful Gods by Gabe Cole Novoa, and Jess and Katy have some strong opinions on the tropes and writing devices that could (or should) lead us into the finale. They're sure they know who's under the mask... but they're not agreed on which character is wearing it.

There's pacing your sentence structure, and there's pacing your story, and the difference between the two has Jess and Katy pacing the room as they connect this aspect of craft with the power of detail, early morning rage text messages, and the... Cousins-Who-Aren't-Really-Cousins to Lovers trope? Is that a thing? It's more of These Vengeful Gods by Gabe Cole Novoa, and you don't want to miss it!
We're at the halfway point of These Vengeful Gods by Gabe Cole Novoa, and what have we learned? That there are tools (and big words for them!) that a good author can use to intentionally draw reader to their world and characters! Also, three minutes is not fifteen minutes.
Join Jess and Katy as they break down lore, storytelling craft, and the impact that publishing trends have on book content.

Who's corrupting whom, anyway? As Jess and Katy break down The Corruption of Hollis Brown by K. Ancrum, they find themselves at the crossroads of good pacing, bad pacing, good touching, bad touching, the relationship between sex and shopping, red flags, maternal instincts, and much more.

As Katy and Jess discuss worldbuilding, bad teachers, bad students, and the underrepresentation of grotesque death in YA lit, they find themselves driven by the same question that drives That Devil, Ambition by Linsey Miller - Was it worth it?
