So I tried hard to get a better format, and screw it up immediately by saying it's episode 513. Sigh.

We talk about the music of Devo Spice, who gives permission for my before- and after- stream music, and I very clumsily recommend his song Spider Verses.

Speaking of music, I also talk about Loser by Garfunkel & Oates. This version edits the F-bombs.

About goals- remember that you want to make goals you can keep under your control. "Want to write the next Star Wars novel," not under your control. "Want to write a book by end of year," yes. "Sign with dream agent," can't control, but "research and query many agents," yes.

I bring up 24 Hour Plays, where I queried to see if they'd like a writer (under my control), and never heard anything back (not under my control.) I did everything I could, so I'm happy with that.

I'm supporting Duke Children's Hospital through Extra Life! If you want to help support, I'd appreciate it!
