There are those moments in a career where the stars align and you note a jump forward. A friend of the podcast, indie-author Garrett Robinson has recently experienced such a moment and we asked him to share what that experience with our audience.
On top of that, Garrett has overall strength in planning and we wanted to pick his brain and find out his thoughts on how to plan out your writing career from scratch.
You can find more about Garret at his website: http://garrettbrobinson.com/
And you can find his books HERE!
Join us at 7 PST/10 EST for a lively discussion with Garrett Robinson.
Xavier writes Dino porn!
JamieDodge writes Wereworm porn. “Seduced by the Squiggler” is but one of his titles.
xgranville DUDE! You weren’t supposed to tell!
xgranville dude, you should suggest that to Mina 😛
Never fear BatmanErica is here…on the podcast. I be back! I’ll try to be less quiet this week 😛
Any questions you want asked on today’s show? Anything for Garrett or for any of us?
BatmanErica Can you get Garrett to talk about his process a bit (from idea/conception to execution, etc)? I’m a process nerd, as you may have noticed.
xgranville JamieDodge Is that anything like Fifty Shades of Sandworm? Cuz Duuuuuuuuude! o_O
Just realized I’ve been responding to comments made two hours ago. Apparently I’m late to the party, in more ways than one. >.<
CateMorgan I’ll see what I can do 🙂
CateMorgan makes me think of: Fifty Shades of Dune 😛
CateMorgan although you can’t use the title ‘Fifty Shades’ as EL James’s lawyers own it. True story. It actually is a true story >.<
CateMorgan but we lurk you still…
CateMorgan lurk, lurk, lurk…
ChrishaunKellerHanna herp-a-lurk
I woke my son this morning by bursting into his room and shouting, “Rise, young warrior! Sound the trumpets and call the banners! We ride to battle this day to crush our enemies! We shall bathe in the blood of our foes and string badminton rackets with their intestines! Gird your loins and don your armor for our swords will taste sweet vengeance this glorious day! Ha-ha!”
Barely out of a deep sleep and unable to open his eyes, the boy gave a slight nod and, through a yawn, whispered, “I’m down.”
FUCK, YEAH! WE RIDE!
(In short, I respect that level of battle readiness and enjoy badminton.)
RChazzChute Totally gonna be reading this on air in a Barbarian voice.
RChazzChute I like badminton too. Hubby won’t let me buy my own self-standing net though. They be costly and we have no level land to stand it on and would have to cart it down to the park over yonder. Means he’s too lazy 😛
xgranville you don’t have a barbarian voice. Better let RChazzChute do it 😛
BatmanErica Wait, really? So all those people self pubbing erotica (and repurposing the Victorian stuff) are getting the pants sued off ’em–and not in a good way? Mercy. O.O
CateMorgan BatmanErica Maybe they’re just getting the passive aggressive emails.
CateMorgan some of them are being asked nicely. Know a couple of people who had sweet box set originally called: 50 Shades of Grrr. So sad as it was an awesome title 🙂
BatmanErica xgranville RChazzChute Now that you have enraged X, he will possess said voice.
BatmanErica CateMorgan Oh man that is indeed an awesome title
RChazzChute BatmanErica xgranville I was thinking New York dork now. Some sort of epic dweeb.
Bing! Go!
RChazzChute was his name-o!
Did you see my husband walk past? Isn’t he a bearded hottie 😀
YAY!!!
CateMorgan MINIONS 4EVA!
Any questions? Any for Garrett? We can gut him open and pull out the mysteries that make him tick. Alternatively you can ask us questions and we’ll keep our insides in 😛
Good evening, folks! Hey JamieDodge, are you currently working on your next Wereworm opus? “Dominated by the Worm Behind the Compost Pile”, or something similar?
Hello Everyone!
Great to See Garrett again. If any of you get a chance to meet him in person, DO!!! He’s funny and super knowledgeable and a lot taller than you would guess seeing him on here.
David Anson Hey David!

Hello and I’m just tuning in. What did I miss? Has Erica gone and stuck her tongue out yet?

CateMorgan xgranville DAST DIE GUNTFRIEDERSCNEIZZEN ISST DERR LICHTENSCHPECKTENSTEIN!
David Anson ChrishaunKellerHanna feeling better… back to but in chair!
I was really early, now I’m really late.
JamieDodge I was going to say something but some men might find it gross 😛
ChrishaunKellerHanna David Anson Glad you’re feeling better!
JamieDodge Too busy writing “Penetrated by the Red Wiggler”?
BatmanErica I have four sisters, I find nothing gross.
xgranville No! I forgot the show was on. To many stupids going on.
xgranville Ask him if he can show the new covers for the books. They are fantastic!
xgranville Danke schoen. 🙂
Anyone in here doing NANO? I’m not, just curious.
David Anson Not me 🙂
David Anson I’m 36000 in and four days behind. I should have won by now…
ChrishaunKellerHanna you’re winning at life! 🙂
ChrishaunKellerHanna David Anson You’ll at 50k in no time!
David Anson Nope.
David Anson Well, he was in my town last weekend but we never met up.
David Anson I am sitting around the 14k point. Missed days and the internal editor insists on being a dick!
David Anson Kinda sorta…I’ll get back into my NANO project now that I’ve FINALLY completed a rough draft I have a release date for. I’ve got to get about 20k in by the end of the month for NANO.
BatmanErica ChrishaunKellerHanna 😀
David Anson I am but am way behind. But I don’t really care since I’ve finally rediscovered my voice and am stupid excited about it. So now I’m going back and looking at what I wrote for the first half of the month. HAH!
My Deveron pirates would totally walk in and say that!
JayneFury David Anson Bummer. He really is a nice person. I was in LA a few weeks ago and he drove an hour to meet up with me and my daughter.
David Anson JayneFury Acutally, I thought you meant Wade. NVM.
No, xgranville yer a tricksy hobbitses! 😀
Mayhap xgranville should take growth hormones.
Clarissa Yeo
Those are great covers.
It’s Clarissa Yao. I use her.
xgranville David Anson fucking internal editor!
yocladesigns.com
SHOW US YOUR COVERS!
David Anson I had a story where the main character used the word ‘dick’ almost 30 times…
xgranville David Anson aka Infernal Editor. I also call him Toby.
ChrishaunKellerHanna I don’t think that’s how that saying usually goes 😛
ChrishaunKellerHanna
NOOOOOO! Not a job!
PatrickSzabo oh we’re sharing? Okay, give me a minute…
ChrishaunKellerHanna
BatmanErica David Anson I had a dick that said the word character 30 times. Interesting coincidence.
Bam!
ChrishaunKellerHanna
BatmanErica ChrishaunKellerHanna and you are correct, ma’am…
JamieDodge 😛
JamieDodge Not the J word!
ChrishaunKellerHanna Pen name UF/superhero stuff here.
PatrickSzabo ooh i like that one 🙂
BatmanErica Your covers are just awesome! and you do them yourself…

BatmanErica PatrickSzabo Me too! lol
PatrickSzabo ChrishaunKellerHanna ::swoon::
JayneFury David Anson LOL. I would love to meet Wade too. I’ll have to drop down and see him next time I’m in Seattle.
ChrishaunKellerHanna PatrickSzabo Clarissa is REALLY good.
ChrishaunKellerHanna it’s only cause the guy is so hot. Mmm… Will… with the smoldering, intelligent eyes…
PatrickSzabo ChrishaunKellerHanna Awesome!
JamieDodge I’d hate to have to go back. Hubby understands and doesn’t think I could handle working for an employer again o.O
ChrishaunKellerHanna Fair warning…this one is still a work in progress. Needs much in the way of polishing…
CateMorgan ChrishaunKellerHanna Still lovely…
CateMorgan oohhhh 🙂
CateMorgan ChrishaunKellerHanna Gorgeous

Did he take Nick Stephenson’s facebook class? Or how did he figure out what to do to get such good numbers?
David Anson I believe he mentioned Matt Dawsons
BatmanErica David Anson That would explain it. Thanks
I did this one up last week. It’s been fun writing the story even though I’m behind on NaNo.
xgranville The cover or the book or both?
ChrishaunKellerHanna Very very nice!
ChrishaunKellerHanna xgranville Behind on the writing, but enjoying it.
xgranville ChrishaunKellerHanna but did you do your cover?
xgranville ChrishaunKellerHanna I was going to put the one you did for me up, but it won’t load/
ChrishaunKellerHanna xgranville Oh, yes I did
xgranville ChrishaunKellerHanna So good!
I still have no idea why people like my accent…
JamieDodge xgranville ChrishaunKellerHanna

Panster is the way to go! PANSTER FOR PRESIDENT!!
Any other questions?
JamieDodge you just can’t wear pants at the same time
Ask Garrett if it’s Missoula or Austin? He’ll know what I mean.
BatmanErica I don’t wear pants.
JamieDodge pants as in underwear or pants as in trousers?
BatmanErica JamieDodge does it really matter?
BatmanErica Yes.
Argh, I have to leave. This is really awesome. I’ll catch up with it later. Cheers!

ChrishaunKellerHanna Fortinbuff, apparently
Bakersfield isn’t the armpit of California, Garrett. San Bernardino is. BLECH.
ChrishaunKellerHanna David Anson That’s just to damn hot. I lived in Phoenix for a while. Then again the winters here hit -40.
no offense taken… Austin is the blue dot in the middle of a HUGE red state.
It’s Hippie texas
David Anson ChrishaunKellerHanna exactly… dat cold though
xgranville ChrishaunKellerHanna yeah it is…
ChrishaunKellerHanna David Anson so do you live in Austin? I’m going to try to go down to the SPP world builders summit or what ever they are calling it next year.
