The Connected Worlds Podcast: Episode 2

The second ep of the Connected Worlds Podcast is up! In it, Kev and I discuss the writing process both in general and how it relates to EoWS

This is the first podcast we’ve recorded while living on different continents. Boy, did it come with some technical challenges! We worked through ’em, though. 

Thanks for listening!

[Mae’s Writing Days] I Finished a Script… and it Feels so Good!

I finished my first script for Epic of World Saga yesterday. It took me a little less than two hours to write, which is not as impressive as it sounds. The completed episode should come in at around 10, maybe 12 minutes.

Frances Marion (1918)

Although short, this episode is important for a few reasons. It marks the introduction of my lead character, Hilda, while simultaneously imparting important world-building information and setting up the next entry in the series (the latter of which is a true EoWS rarity, as we normally don’t move things along in chronological order). 

Hilda has been living in my brain for nearly a year, so it is incredibly fun to finally free her from those confines and see what she can achieve in her world. I’d like to think she’s off to a fine start. You can find out for yourself when the episode airs in September.

Epic of World Saga: Our Patreon Has Launched

Please indulge me while I veer a bit off-topic. As some of you may already know, in one of my “other” lives I’m involved with the audio action adventure Epic of World Saga.  It’s super fun and rewarding. We’re still in early days, and are doing everything we can to make it better, bigger, and brighter. After much consideration, Kev and I decided to go down the Patreon route. I know, I know! 

Here’s a little post I wrote about it, over on the EoWS blog. If you are not interested in backing us, no worries! I’ll still love you. Spreading the word on social media is also super important, so if you’d hit the share button for the platform of your choice…that would be amazing and lovely.

Miscellaneous Epic of World Saga Updates…

 I am usually a good girl about maintaining the focus of ASPL, so I hope you forgive me when I occasionally go off-subject. When I do, it’s usually in support of one of my other projects. Like this!

Although I try to keep things compartmentalized, sometimes I just have to share updates. Like now!

Here’s what is going on over at Epic of World Saga.

If you love old pulp fiction magazines, do we have the covers (and commentary) for you!

Fantastic Universe (September 1959)

Fantastic Adventures (February 1950)

Kev debuted a new series on May 5th. It’s all about classic sci-fi and adventure radio programs.

There are so many wonderful things on the horizon for EoWS, but this is all I’ll thrust on you today. I’ll be back with the regularly scheduled programming in a couple of hours. Until then, thanks for your indulgence.

Epic Pulp Covers…

…is a new weekly feature over on Epic of World Saga. Although I won’t be sharing every EoWS post here (that would be annoying, I’m sure!), this series is on-theme for A Small Press Life!

Here are the first two images:

Weird Tales (March 1923)

Fantastic Adventures (November 1941)

The script for Episode 3 is being finalized. Stay tuned for big things, as it is our first 2-parter. Can you say cliffhanger?
