Money

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

2022/02/20

This week's writers' podcast is about spending money to be a writer (or as I call it, "death by thousand cuts"). All professions require out-of-pocket expenses because the cliché is we have to spend money to earn money. But as independent writers, we may not ever see a full return on our investment. We talk about those challenges. You can learn more about us at our website at www.carsonhume.com If you're interested in learning how a book is created, then check out

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

2022/02/06

We talk about the challenges and dangers of using “power words” and “trigger words” in this week’s writer’s podcast. Our definitions: “Power Words” can be used to develop an emotional connection between the reader and writer, where “Trigger Words” exist to illicit an emotional response, often a knee-jerk negative emotional response. Candidly, we struggle to draw the line between the two. We talk about both in general communication, and we use the vaccination argument as an example. For writing, we
