Fun Changes to the podcast!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hey, everyone. Welcome to How To Write the Future podcast or welcome back. My name is Beth Barany. I am your host, science fiction and fantasy writer, and creativity coach, writing teacher and filmmaker. Welcome. If you are a returning listener or watcher, welcome back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have some exciting news to share with you today. Yes. Yes. Yes, yes. Yes. So two big pieces of news.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today marks our special 88th episode. And the news is we are now going to twice weekly. Yes. Twice weekly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you can hear us on Mondays and Thursdays. Both days I drop these episodes at 12:00 AM Pacific.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So Mondays and Thursdays, and the way I&#8217;m going to divide it up is Mondays will be a solo episode where I&#8217;m teaching something, sharing something about the topic of how to write the future. And of course, this is a very broad topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then the reason I went to two episodes a week is I have so many fabulous, fabulous interviews for you. And I wanted to be sharing them more frequently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I had this huge backlog of interviews and I will be dropping those interviews on Thursdays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So interviews like, coming up pretty soon, talking to Adam Fleming who writes science fiction, a really fun, humorous blend of science fiction and fantasy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I will be talking to James Alguire for a story success clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So those also will show up in our Thursday slots, where we talk about all manner of world development and creating story worlds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;ll be talking to writing teacher Jennifer Hilt on science fiction and fantasy tropes. Really, really fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also talking to Leon Conrad, simple and powerful storytelling structure tools. He&#8217;s a fabulous writing teacher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also have an interview coming up with Damon Courtney who runs BookFunnel, which is a fabulous forward-thinking tool to help authors with their book promotion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have an episode coming up with Maggie Ostara who I knew through the Thrutopia community and is doing some incredible work with empowerment and helping us vision new futures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that&#8217;s just a little sneak peek of some of the episodes I have coming in the next month or so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So stay tuned for Monday and Thursday episodes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m so excited to bring them to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, uh, as I wrap up this very short episode, I want to encourage you to please, if you haven&#8217;t already, like this episode, subscribe to the podcast, wherever you get your podcasts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I&#8217;m also on YouTube.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So yes, you can follow me there, like the podcast episode, but you can also subscribe to my channel and get every single episode there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, I just want to remind everybody if you&#8217;re new to my channel, you may not know that I give away a world-building workbook for fiction writers. Just follow the link in the show notes and the show description, and you can get your very own workbook to help you think through all the details of world-building for your story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then last but not least since this particular episode is airing at the beginning of March 2024, if you&#8217;re listening to it, uh, on the day it releases or on the week it releases or in March of 2024. I just want to let you know, I&#8217;m doing a very exciting project. I&#8217;m putting together a movie. Yes. A short film based on my heroine, Henrietta The Dragon Slayer, and her friends. So check that out, if you&#8217;re interested in supporting us or spreading the word we are crowdfunding our short film that we&#8217;ll be filming in July the beginning of July 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very excited to share this film with everybody.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that&#8217;s it for this very special and short episode today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out all the goodies for this podcast at how to write the future. Dot com.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And welcome. Welcome to our world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And storytellers, I believe in you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I didn&#8217;t say at the top of this episode, that my mission for this podcast is to really empower you with tools and resources so that you can sit down and write your story because I believe that our stories really do shape the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They shape our readers and they influence our readers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the people I interviewed recently talked about how we&#8217;re in the business of creating experiences. We can do that all kinds of ways. Right? We can throw a party. That&#8217;s a kind of experience. We can put on a play. We can make a movie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can write novels. Novels are a form of experience. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re doing. We&#8217;re shaping the experience. Not just while our reader is reading. But afterwards. We are experienced creators. And I&#8217;m all about that. And I&#8217;m all about sharing tips and tools to help you and empower you to do that. So please write your stories. Your stories are important. That&#8217;s all for this week. Write long and prosper.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loved this episode?
