[BLOG NOTE: This website changed hosts in early 2021. Entries needed to be uploaded manually. In the time between 2019 and 2021, Anne began using a new pen name, which in turn required new listings for her books. I have updated the links to reflect the new book listings.] In this penultimate interview, we’re talking… Continue reading PODCAST #20: INTERVIEW WITH ANNE HOGUE-BOUCHER

PODCAST #17: MOMENTUM
Welcome to WEEK 3! Hopefully that Wall from Week 2 is a distant memory, and it’s all smooth sailing from here. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still quite a way to go — but you should now have more words behind you than you have ahead of you. How do you keep that momentum going?… Continue reading PODCAST #17: MOMENTUM

This is a podcast all about National… Continue reading PODCAST #15: INTERVIEW WITH KARL HUBERT (PART I)
PODCAST #14: MUNICIPAL LIAISONS
Who is the backbone of NaNoWriMo, the one keeping everything running smoothly, the one behind the scenes trying to make sure everyone has what they need to hit their word count goals, the cheerleaders, the cat herders?

PODCAST #12: ACCOUNTABILITY
In your day job, you are accountable to your employer. At school, you are accountable to your teachers. At home, you are accountable to parents or spouses. But who holds you accountable for your daily word count during November? Today we’ll talk about that (sort of) and what you can do to make yourself accountable.… Continue reading PODCAST #12: ACCOUNTABILITY
PODCAST #11: WORD SPRINTS
In doing these ahead of time, it did not occur to me until scheduling this episode that today is Veteran’s Day, and I failed to mention anything in the episode. This is inexcusable. In the Donation episode, I mentioned that I live in a country where I am free to have a podcast that touts… Continue reading PODCAST #11: WORD SPRINTS
