Did you hear? We have a new book on the shelves! (The digital ones anyway.) With Operation: Endgame out and waiting for you to read, The Shared Desk is looking back on the ministry of Peculiar Occurrences and talks about everything a writer thinks, feels, and fears when wrapping up a series and dropping the curtain on familiar grounds.
And really, are they done with the Ministry? Well……
00:00 — Introduction
Whew! It’s been a week…
If you want to relax, Dunkirk is NOT the movie to help you with that.
And you can hear it first….if you become a subscriber.
See you in 2018!
54:15 — The Last Word

This morning, as the Dog Days of Podcasting nears its conclusion, Tee returns to his evening with Neil Gaiman at Wolf Trap. There was a pretty valuable takeaway Tee got from that two-and-a-half hours: it’s more than okay to enjoy your own work. Sure, there is a line of self-indulgence to be aware of. The trick is knowing where that line lies.

Comments Off on The Dog Days of Podcasting 2017: Enjoy Yourself!
Finishing the second week of the Dog Days of Podcasting, Tee was a little worried that he didn’t have a good writing topic for this morning. Turns out he did. Sometimes, in this game, things are going to happen that are not your fault, but it is expected that you fix it. Why? Look at the cover. Whose names are on there?

Comments Off on The Dog Days of Podcasting 2017: Who’s Name Is on the Cover?
Welcome to the wonderful world of Click Farms for Amazon KU. Ugh!
This was Tee’s biggest hangup with the KU Program from Day One.
These services are cheap. Are they ethical? OH HELL NO.
Where are these smart devices coming from, you think?
No, KU is a crappy system. Period.
Last Item: The Importance of a Workflow
Less about writers, more about the support staff you are working with.
New technology is cool, but you really should know about a new gadget before incorporating it into a project’s workflow.
Even Tee has new tech toys he wants t learn, but he understands limitations and learning curves.
Paper trails matter!
File Management matters, too!
Pip is Tee’s Landshark of Love.
30:00 — The Loot Crate Lookie-Loo!
This Loot Crate has been gathering dust…
July’s Theme: ANIMATION
Rick & Morty: A “Rick” statue that carries explicit content
A Bob’s Burgers Recipe Collection (Very cool, LootCrate!)
Tee-shirt: Classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
A “SLURM” koozie from the world of Futurama
Nice Loot Crate pin, also from Bob’s Burgers
Tee grabs for the booklet as there really isn’t anything from our fandoms. We need help trying to figure out what this Bob’s Burgers item is all about…
This Loot Crate is a first for us, and that will make attendees of our panels VERY happy!
35:08 — The Wrap-Up
The things they say in New Zealand…
Oooooh, Coconut!

We’ve been busy lately with wrapping up one project and starting a brand new one. However, we are never too busy to learn new things, and Pip is doing that presently with Nick Stephenson and his course, How to Find Your First 10,000 Readers. This may sound like we’re drinking the marketing guru’s Kool-Aid (mmmmm…fruity) but we are asking hard questions. Nick’s got answers.
19-20 August, Mechanicsburg Mystery Weekend in Mechanicsburg, PA (Lots to do during this Mystery conference…)
1-4 September, Escape Velocity in Washington, D.C. (A weekend of hardcore geekery with Nick Kelly!)
If you have an event and want The Shared Desk to appear there, here’s where to find us…

…and social media, of course.
Ah, the glamorous life of writers…
