Episode #44: All About New Space

This episode it is just Pip and Tee in the studio…but it is a somewhat different studio.

00:00 Introduction, and a little commentary

• Pip and Tee make eye contact for the first time on the Shared Desk
• Tee has some new drop ins…
• The duo look forward to seeing Ash vs the Evil Dead.
• Pip has cracked and is looking for drop ins herself
• Stuff is getting painted because Pip looks at too much Pinterest

05:26 Making time to make author space

•  The old ‘shared desk’ is dead after a hammer attack
• Two desks together mean Pip and Tee can talk to each other. Here’s what they went with.
• No one likes upside down kit set furniture
• When choosing furniture, make sure to take into account cats
• Pip is getting used to it, after perching!
• Getting cocky with a rubber band Pip found in her desk!
• Does new space mean more creativity?
• Less distractions and being together seem to be helping
• Shared offices often mean side to side seating, or back to back.
• Nick Kelly and Stacia D Kelly have a interesting layout in their office.
• Pip likes her drawers
• The benefits (and dangers) of having multiple monitors.
• Tee now has his back to the door.
• Pip and Tee have no chance of an author shed

23:18 Writers off the clock. Sense8

• As writers Pip and Tee are digging Sense8
• Even though Tee spells it wrong
• Sense8 has some of the most global, diverse and fascinating writing.
• Check out the cast
• Supporting characters are also amazing
• Like writing novels, having a plan is a good idea. Sense8 has a five season arc apparently.
• Exposes watchers to different realities.
• Tee waxes lyrical on actors he has known
• Even the music is beautiful
• Conan and Van Damme have their moments
