Welcome back to our Not-a-Podcast, where Bree & Donna chat about the writing & self-publishing life and answer questions that make us spin wildly off-topic. (Previous episodes!) This week comes with bonus chickens! Scroll down to the bottom of this post to see all about Donna’s chickens and her new chicken coop.

This week’s episode is a little bit laser-focused. And also long. It includes:

Us sorting all of the O’Kanes into Harry Potter houses.
No really, all of them.
Sometimes we don’t agree about it, too.
This is like an hour of Sorting Hat hijinks, guys.
Okay, it also starts with talk about our characterization process.
How we use AUs and viginttes to develop characters.
How that process secretly started the O’Kanes.
Our Virtual Signing is starting!
