- Residency is in Portland, ME
- Tee’s mic problems and Pip’s odd need for editing…eh, just go with it!
- Working with Mentors (who are working authors)
- This isn’t NaNoWriMo or a writers’ retreat, folks. This is graduate school. For writers.
- And there is Tee, just being far too ‘Murican.
- From #MicFAIL to #DropInFAIL
- Pip asks who would Tee want to have as his Writing Mentor…and Pip makes an uber-#SteampunkFAIL.

33:44 — Seriously?! Seriously.
- Another #DropInFAIL but we’ll get this…
- It’s kind of important before you go into a blog tour to know what to do when you’re on a blog tour.
- Copy-Paste-Here’s-Your-Blogpost….no, that’s not what you do.
- If you are too busy to go on a blog tour because you are too busy promoting, you’re lost in #EpicFAIL
- There are bigger problems afoot if you don’t have evergreen blog content to offer a blog tour.
- Is the problem a lack of ideas? (As we show, nope.)
