2024/04/07

We’re back from our first trip as a retired couple, and we use the podcast to talk about travel as a metaphor for change, maturity, and aging. Often, we’re made uncomfortable by traveling to familiar places only to find they’ve changed a lot. That happens when you get to a certain age. We also discuss some big plans and announce our next adventure which is codenamed “The BAT.” Have a listen and check us out at www.carsonhume.com TIA LYL!

"No Religion, Too"

Two Hearts and One Braincell: Cassidy Carson & JT... ·

2024/03/24

I feel Episode 162 should have gigantic Trigger Warning: “Religion is mentioned.”We wade into the minefield as we discuss the influence of religion on how we were raised, how that upbringing influences our writing, and how we as writers choose whether or not to include organized religion in our books. It’s a complicated subject and I don’t know if we did it justice. We may do a Part Two next week, depending on feedback and our ongoing conversations. And folks of a certain age will recognize the

Memory

Two Hearts and One Braincell: Cassidy Carson & JT... ·

2024/03/17

We could say Episode 161 is an exercise in applying strong memories to the craft of writing. After all, “we write what we know.” In reality, it’s an excuse for CC and me to reminisce about our strongest memories from our trips to Ireland. That’s what we people of a certain age like to do. Discussed: Blarney Castle, Ross Castle, Christchurch, Dublin tourism, the color green, and a rabbit.

Squirrel!

2024/03/10

Episode 160 is another hodgepodge of writing updates, opinions and predictions. The key center answers the question, “If your life had a book title, what would it be?” You will be surprised to learn that people married for 40+ years came up with the same answer. Shocking! We also discuss the Cubs, Cinema Therapy, current projects, the time change, retirement, routines, and our furniture. Have a listen. I promise it’s more interesting than it sounds.

Ennui

Two Hearts and One Braincell: Cassidy Carson & JT... ·

2024/02/25

Episode 158Our “word of the day” podcast theme continues with one of CC’s favorites: “ennui.” Everybody deals with it at sometime in their lives, but creative artists seem to wrestle with ennui like Heracles beating down Antaeus (google it, kids). We talk about our own struggles and come up with some hopefully helpful ideas. We do a shout out to our family and all families who are struggling with challenges this week.

Dichotomy vs. Genre

Two Hearts and One Braincell: Cassidy Carson & JT... ·

2024/02/18

Episode 157: There are writers who can stay in their lane, and there are writers who jump from murder thrillers to space epics. The surest path to success for independent writers seems to be write and publish “predictable” books, so why can’t every author stick to this tried and true formula? We naturally use Uncle Steve, Aunt Barbara, and John Grisham as examples. Have a listen and check us out at www.carsonhume.com TIA LYL!

Implausible

Two Hearts and One Braincell: Cassidy Carson & JT... ·

2024/02/11

It’s Super Bowl Sunday and Valentine’s Day week. For episode 156, we finally give in and hopelessly (or hopefully) pander for clicks by diving head first into the Taylor-Travis romance of the century (we obviously have no self respect). But we do things a little different here. We debate on the plausibility of their relationship, and how as writers, if we would go there and create a story like theirs. We spoil Somewhere in Time, Marry Me, and (again) the MCU. Check us out at www.carsonhume.com

We’re both excited and feeling a deep sense of dread, but we’re also anxious to get going. The funny part of this story is how the hiring practices of the State of Nevada played an important role.

Romancing Your Writing

Two Hearts and One Braincell: Cassidy Carson & JT... ·

2024/01/28

Episode 154 is about the passion in writing a romance book…or writing romance in your book. What's the difference? We discuss how we were "programmed" from an early age and by society to write our respective flavors of romantic novels. We spoil "Romancing the Stone," "The Lost City," and the Marvel Universe movies. Also: short business updates and the saga of our poor basement. Have a listen and check us out at www.carsonhume.com.

The podcast/broadcast is back after a one week hiatus due to technical issues (now resolved), and we have a funny bookselling story. Not only did it make us laugh, but it confirmed that we are book nerds. We touched on one of the world's most solitary professions that sits squarely in the public eye, and we ask you (the indy writer) about running a business. At what point do you go from being a hobbyist to a "real" business (LLC or something else)? We continue to be super-excited about

Episode 152 is a bonus podcast from the Dungeon of Doom studio where we briefly (for us) discuss the challenges of success. Since our expansion across e-pub sites. one of our series is seeing financial success, which begs for a sequel: -Good news: Kind of working on that third book. -Bad news: Working much harder on a different series. What do we do? Shift gears to the book series gaining traction or keep working on our main project? We exchange ideas and come up with a solution which we'll

Episode 151 is another vent session about our book publishing company Two Moore Books. We had a good week when we were rewarded by our hard work, but we were also reminded of how far we have to go as a small book publishing company: Overthinking: -We salute David Soul, an icon of our youth. -A Sheriff in Nevada: selling it and creating the paperback for Amazon and B&N. -We plugged the Nevada Writer's Group on FB, and appreciate the the Sierra Arts Foundation for their support of Nevada

Gremlins

2023/12/24

A couple of weeks ago, we talked about the three movies that our part of our Christmas tradition (Love Actually, Die Hard, Christmas Vacation). For Episode 148, we watched three movies that were homages (or parodies) of traditional Christmas movies: Elf, Gremlins, and Scrooged. We talked about what worked and didn't work, and why they didn't appeal to us as "traditional" movies as they may for other people. We agree that comedy is the hardest art form for writers.

For Episode 147, we reveal the winner of the annual ugly Christmas sweater contest (hint: I win every year with the same sweater). More importantly, we dive into the the technical details behind writing sequels. I've written three series, and I've started a fourth, and I wish I knew now what I didn't know when I did the first three. We cite "Star Wars" and "The Matrix." For the second part of the podcast/broadcast, we talk about the "science" part of

"Tradition is peer pressure from your ancestors" is how we framed Episode 146. We go down down tradition's path by discussing some of our family traditions this time of year, which now requires we watch three holiday movies: Die Hard, Christmas Vacation, and Love Actually. We talk about these movies appeal to us. As promised, here's the link when we eviscerated "Love Actually" (check out the beard!). We wore red this week for our family at the University of Nevada Las
