Welcome to How To Write The Future podcast. I am coming to live, recording this live in Oakland, California in the unceded territory of the Ohlone people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I want to share with you the highlights from 2023. And also I might pick something from 2022 as well since I started this podcast back in July of 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m going to highlight a few episodes from the past that I really enjoyed doing. So let&#8217;s get started. And stay tuned to the end to hear about a special gift for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right. So in no particular order, here are some of my most favorite episodes that I did as solo episodes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ep. 19 &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">news and updates from the world of futurists and strategic foresight practitioners <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I really enjoyed giving news and updates from the world of futurists and strategic foresight practitioners. That was actually way back over a year ago, episode 19, November 14th, 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coming up in January, I will be giving some more news and updates from the world of futurists, strategic foresight practitioners, and folks doing some really incredible things to be thinking about the future of humanity. So that was one of my very favorite episodes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ep. 2 &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiction Writing Tips, Stepping Into Another&#8217;s Shoes.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another episode that I really enjoyed was episode 2 actually &#8211; Fiction Writing Tips, Stepping Into Another&#8217;s Shoes. I really feel like there&#8217;s so much power in learning how to do that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning how to be a fiction writer is really about learning how to cultivate empathy inside yourself so that you can become like another person. It&#8217;s very hard for humans to actually do this. And yet we do it through art. And fiction is just one of the best ways to do that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So listen to Episode Two: Fiction Writing Tips, Stepping Into Another&#8217;s Shoes. So those were both from way back in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ep. 61 &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Power of NaNoWriMo<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of my other very favorite episodes\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am going to talk about Episode 61, The Power of NaNoWriMo. <\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. I really enjoy this challenge. This National Novel Writing Month is every November. And it&#8217;s a really great container.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have never tried to write a novel and you want to get going, this challenge might be right for you now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s not right for everyone. So if it isn&#8217;t right for you, really that&#8217;s totally cool. But it&#8217;s a fun way to be in the energy of worldwide challenge of writing a 50,000-word novel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now I recommend that you plan first and I have a planning book called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan Your Novel, Like A Pro<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that I highly recommend and that I co-wrote with my husband. And then that brings me to another favorite episode.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ep. 73 &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0NaNoWriMo is nearly over. So Now what <\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, one that came out just at the end of November. And that was about what do you do once you finished your first draft. That&#8217;s episode 73: NaNoWriMo is nearly over. So Now what was the title of the episode because it came out November 28th or something like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I did this episode with my husband Ezra Barany, and I kind of sprung it on him. And there&#8217;s this, there&#8217;s a secret guest star in there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is also a video. So I highly recommend that you go to my YouTube channel. And you can search my name: Beth Barany or you could search How To Write The Future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you&#8217;ll see, we have all of our podcasts episodes there and some of them are just audio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then I got more comfortable with video. And so now they&#8217;re on video, most of them, except this one with my husband at the end of November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can maybe hear from my voice and see if you&#8217;re watching from my enthusiasm, with my face, I love writing fiction. I&#8217;m working on my 16th novel. I&#8217;m editing it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And there&#8217;s really nothing like actually holding a manuscript that you&#8217;ve written in your hand, you know, printing it out, holding it, having someone hold it and watch them experience the weight of writing of novel. It&#8217;s just so much fun. So thrilling. So satisfying. Incredible. And it&#8217;s a high every single time. Like, wow. I actually did that.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ep. 67 &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspiration For The Janey McCallister mystery series <\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then I am going to mention another favorite episode, episode 67, which came out October 16th, 2023 episode 67. It&#8217;s called Inspiration For The Janey McCallister mystery series.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now this is my podcast. I&#8217;m a science fiction writer. I&#8217;m going to talk about what inspires me. I&#8217;m going to talk about my books. I&#8217;m talking about my services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right now I&#8217;m going to talk about the Janey McCallister mystery series. It came out of a dream, a real dream, the kind that you have when you&#8217;re asleep. Not just a daydream. And there&#8217;s some other things that inspired me that have been swirling around in my subconscious for years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think I had this dream easily over 10 years ago, maybe more, maybe 15, but it wasn&#8217;t until 2016 that I sat down to work on this book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So also just because I&#8217;m a writing teacher and a coach, I just want to let you know that it can take a long time for the seedling. And the inkling and the notion in the image to be ready, to be even mature enough so that you&#8217;re ready to work on it and my philosophy is if the idea comes back around and around and around and around it, doesn&#8217;t leave you alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And finally, when you&#8217;re ready to write a new story and you&#8217;re like, oh, is it this? Or is it this look at all these seedlings? And like, what is ready? What is the seedling that is ready?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, this was what I was facing in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I was debating between what later became the Janey McCallister, first book mystery <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Into The Black<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or a continuation of my paranormal romantic suspense series. Actually, it&#8217;s currently sweet, cozy paranormal romances. I have written a book, that&#8217;s a paranormal romantic suspense, and I thought, okay, I could turn that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s a series that I have been sitting on since &#8211; oh my gosh &#8211; 2005 that I had this idea, so it&#8217;s not ready. So I debated between that series. And so, yeah, I chose Janey McCallister.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now I have four books and I&#8217;m working on book five.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So a little bit more also about some of the inspirations are in episode 67, Inspiration for the Janey McCallister mystery series.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So enjoy that.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ep. 57 &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0How Space Debris Inspires My Current Novel\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right. I want to tell you of one more. This is episode 57. And it is about &#8211; I forgot I did this this episode. So I&#8217;m really excited because I&#8217;m definitely gonna be doing more on this topic.\u00a0 Episode 57 is How Space Debris Inspires My Current Novel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So this is, so the previous one I was mentioning was about what inspired the series, what inspired the initial four books. I am working on a new for book quartet, same main character, same world. it&#8217;s a whole new set of adventures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, yeah, I&#8217;m really excited to relisten to this &#8217;cause I have some big things coming about space debris or space junk or orbital debris, however. It&#8217;s said a lot of different ways. I like calling it space junk, but when I talked to people in the industry, they call it space debris or orbital debris. This is the junk that is spinning around the planet in low earth orbit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s rocket bodies. It&#8217;s a dead satellites. It&#8217;s paint chips. It&#8217;s all kinds of things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So Episode 57, How To Space Debris Inspires My Current novel. You&#8217;ll hear me in this episode talk about what different countries are currently doing to combat and protect Earth&#8217;s orbit. And I also talk a little bit in this episode about tips on how to start research on topics for your science fiction and fantasy stories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, this is a big topic that&#8217;s in book five that I&#8217;m working on and it&#8217;s actually going to be part of books. 5, 6, 7, and 8. Because I&#8217;m planning another quartet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those are my top episodes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Special Gift For You\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So my special gift for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re new to the podcast, or a long-time listener and you haven&#8217;t yet downloaded my gift, and you&#8217;re a science fiction or fantasy writer, or even actually any kind of fiction writer.
