hope this isn't weird to ask but how long have you been writing and how old are you? did you ever take any courses related to writing or have you been improving through writing as a hobby?

Hey it's not weird at all, I'll happily answer!

I'm 20 years old, and I have been writing non-continuously since I was 12.

My first fic was written with colon punctuation for spoken dialogue instead of quotation marks bc I didn't know what those were at the time. For example:

Bob: nice weather we're having today (he said with a smile)

Bob2: I signed the divorce papers, they're on the counter. (Sighing at the other's stubbornness)

I posted it on wattpad.

Afterwards, I never wrote anything else, but I learned about Ao3 and kept enganging in fandom spaces. At 14, I joined roleplaying group chats, which made me think and write faster to keep the rp going. Eventually, it became one on one rp with another person where we would take our chat history log, freshen it up a bit, then post it as a fic.

By 16, I joined a fandom server with a semi serious writing subcategory in it. People more experienced and much older than me would beta for other's story. It's where I picked up the habit to write drafts in google docs so I can easily share the link for a beta reader to add suggestions to.

I still haven't written another fic by then, not by myself, at least. I got very insecure at the time about my writing and lack of knowledge. Mind you, I joined the server, not knowing what punctuation was. It took several beta readers adding punctuation for me until it finally clicked that I should use it.

It felt like I was an outcast in a way? Sure, everyone treated me just as nicely as others there, but I noticed the little things that added up over time. Like how no one would react or talk about the stories I post, but if someone else shares theirs, then the entire server gushes over it. Or how one time I reacted to my own story with an emoji, only for someone else to mention how it's me who clicked it and I shouldn't do that. It was a very unhealthy environment for a 16-year-old surrounded by 30-20 years old, but I stuck to it because I wanted to improve my writing.

Even if I was ignored, they'd still beta for me as a chance to offer "constructive criticism." Artists can be very petty when a low skilled person joins them.

My skills improved, and I posted my second fic! It was nothing remarkable, but it felt like the first stone into the stairway of improvement, yk? I loved that fic, it was my crowning jewel.

But as a result, I started to hate writing. It was a struggle, I'd spend hours on two sentences while others on the server were bragging about their 50k fics. I hated my own inability to perform better, to write better.

I got sick of reading my own writing from the number of times I'd rewrite it in an attempt to format it better. I couldn't even bare look at other's writing or read fanfics on AO3 because I'd always compare their writing to mine. Break their style down and analyse it in an attempt to spot what I'm doing wrong.

I left the server eventually, abruptly too. It was for the better.

I swore off of writing.

For two years, that was true. I gradually came to reading fanfics again, but just looking at a blank document was enough to get me nauses.

By 18, Aot happened, and the boom in x reader fanfics.

Everything I've written up to this point has been ships. Not once did I consider the idea of an x reader. For a while, I used to scoff at it and label it as cringe, as if the ship fanfics I was reading wasn't cringe either. Elitism, I tell you.

I saw these request blogs and how posting on tumblr seemed less intimidating than AO3. How intimate it felt to have an anon talk to you about your own fic that you wrote for them, to have people discussing your writing and stories with you! And they ask for more!

Sign me tf up.

I started my first writing blog, and I didn't know shit. I learned as I went. The new formatting, the tumblr tag system, creating a masterlist.

How important presentation is in here.

In AO3, your fic has the same chance of being read as any other one. Only your description is there to judge it by. But on tumblr? The shiny bookcover was almost as important as the material inside. In here, you have to market your own fic, present it with a lovely bow on top, add a pretty eyecatching header, and all the right trending tags.

Luckily, it clicked easy for me. I used free domian paintings from past centuries to make my covers, and they stood out amongst the anime cover galore. It was a little pretentious, I admit, but I also was a little pretentious, so it's alright.

I played my cards right, answered requests enthusiastically, and delivered fics at a fast rate. Paid attention to what styles worked best and what genres attracted more attention. At that point, it was a numbers game for me. Play marketing right, and you'll win at capitalism.

It felt very degrading and dirty.

My personal style fazed out, and my fics had a sanitised safe for mass consume feel to it. It was written to appeal to you rather than written out of any real love or passion.

It was soulless garbage.

Not to mention at the time I still used the same unhealthy and needlessly convoluted writing method I learned from that server. Yes I cut ties with them but I still didn't have any other alternative writing method to use.

What's that? Just write however I want? Are you crazy? What like my 12y old self wrote on wattpad? My 18y old self would rather die than actually be true to themselves.

I was extremely insecure and afraid of being labelled as "cringe" I completely ereased any stray stains of personality that managed to trickle their way down into my writing. Not once did I write for myself during that time, and not once did I actually enjoy a single piece I made.

I hated all of them, I couldn't bear to even read the fics I wrote. But I still made more and more to appease the requesters, still forced myself to sit and write each morning for hours on end.

A tight timeline, an exhausting production and no friends or hobbies to fall back into and relax. It was a fucking nightmare.

What ircked me the most was how people would just keep requesting more without a thank you or even a fuck you afterwards. It's like it's a fast food drive-through and I should be grateful for any attention I get.

But I never said a word. I never complained because complaining drives away people and engagement. No, I needed to keep my happy chill imagine and never show any emotion or talk about my struggles in real life or writing.

Instead of realising I hated my writing because of its lack of essence and soul, I convinced myself instead that it's because my skill level is still too low.

So I searched online. I found writing courses I couldn't afford, and neither could I ask my family for money for anything at the time because of personal reasons.

So I put on my pirate hat.

Apparently, people don't bother uploading the scam writing tips courses to pirate websites. That's fair.

Instead, I pirated books from famous authors talking about writing. Read them and tried to apply their methods, ignored my own preferences, and wrote to fit their subjective standards of what good writing is.

I signed up for free trials courses that didn't require a credit card and copied every single file into my hard drive before the trail ended.

I had so much material to study. I watched youtube videos about writing. I really really tried everything I could.

But I still loathed every fucking word I put down on these pages.

And I hated how a general advice in writing was to "follow your heart" what is that supposed to mean? I can't do that. Others do not like my heart, It has been proven many times before so how about you just give me some useful advice instead you useless wrinkled piece of shit book?

...

You can't force or fake creativity.

You can fake an elegant writing style, you can copy interesting lines from famous books and apply them to your own writing, you can include every trendy word in all the right places.

But you can't fake creativity.

I wished I was 12 again. Writing fics on wattpad, where my style was worse than garbage, and yet I loved it. People loved it.

Because it was garbage with a soul, a garbage that had empty chocolate milk bottles and spilt sprinkles. A garbage that showed personality and where my priorities were. With kids' fingerprints in colourful paint and a toddler's fridge artpiece.

A garbage that mirrored my love for the art.

And I ruined it. I traded it all for stupid punctuation that I didn't even care for.

I was happy.

Like every other probome in my life, I ran away.

I hit my breaking point. The requests were never ending, the studying and writing books were getting more and more pretentious and contradicting themselves. I barely had time to eat, I don't talk to people or go outside.

I do not have the time for anything, I missed having friends.

I left the blog. I stopped writing, it was too anxiety inducing.

I got into videogames again, I enjoyed the text heavy ones. I chose to ignore what that implied.

They were so...beautiful.

And fun!

I made some friends, I was happy for a while.

Then, one of my favourite characters in my video game mentioned missing their parents, how hard the funeral was.

It hit home.

I'm not writing, I convinced myself with a lie, I'm just gonna put down my thoughts on them...in a google document.

See just around 1k words, easy peasy. I AM NOT WRITING. It doesn't count.

But I did write it. Not with any calculated formula or method. I wrote my thoughts like how I hear them in my head and what I felt, what I imagined the character would feel.

Then, I added some dialogue, trimmed the corners, and sprinkled in euphemism.

It was simple and bare, vulnerable.

I posted it. It never got much traction.

But I was happy, I liked it, even loved it and kept rereading it.

I was 19.

I nervously showed it to my friend. They mentioned how much they can't stand reading books or fics because the words overwhelm them courtesy of their ADHD.

But they managed to read mine. Very smoothly.

Because my style, my own personal style that is set to my preference, makes me write in small paragraphs and straightforward. I never linger on details or focus on one thing for too long, I always give breaks and seperate events from each other.

And it clicked for this one person who struggled with reading, a style that will get criticism in any serious writing circle for being too simple or childish.

They liked it.

I hate needless convolution.

I just turned 20 years old, I asked for Baldur's Gate 3 early access as my birthday gift.

I received it, I played it.

I fell in love with its writing.

Then I made this blog, and I promised myself not to follow rabbits into any holes again. To reject the requests I don't want, to write because I love to, because I find it interesting or fun.

To never feel obligated to any thing or person. Only write if I want to, only post it if I want to. And if I don't want to? Then I simply won't.

And yes this blog gets much less attention than my first one but the people in here, the anons and my readers, they interact much more with me and my writing. It feels much better to have a handful of people genuinely excited and curious about your stories than a hundred people who would only leave likes and leave.

I have never touched a writing course or a helpful book since then. I block every writing tips blog, I see. I hate each and every single post about writing tricks and immediately skip past it.

I don't care if I improve anymore. I don't care if people don't read my stuff. I do not care if my style degenerates so much and reverts back to wattpad. All I care about is the fact I love writing and I enjoy it, I plan to keep it this way.

It's also funny that I'm writing in English since I when I first started writing at 12 it was in Arabic. My first fic? In Arabic.

And I was willing to go down that road yk. Keep true to my heritage and culture, write in my own beautiful language.

But. I wrote about queer topics and stories. Homophobia is still a massive thing in our society. My story was more infamous and taboo than famous and beloved.

I had so many people coming to my dms to "educate" me about religion and sin. How what I'm doing is wrong and the message I'm spreading is haram.

It was funny at first especially when it was the quran that made me want to write in the first place. Because it's actually a collection of poems! It just loses its rhythm when translated to English. It was so beautifully written, I'd listen to it always as a kid.

But then those dms became unbearable and I decided to learn english to join the western fandoms instead. A 12y old just deciding to fuck it and learn a whole new language to write gay fics.

A lot of my struggles in writing at 12-17 was because I was still learning English at the time.

This was fun. Thank you so much for asking this, anon! I had the chance to reminisce about the past.

I made so many mistakes. But I'd rather having made them and reached this point of content with myself than not having made them at all.

...wait we can ask you medical stuff? For fics obviously but like- I have been doing SO MUCH research on how to treat things and trying to find the best examples of medical care available for the boys. ...and this whole time I could've asked you things like how to splint a broken arm? Or what sort of break is easiest to set at home and is most likely the kind a 9 year old might sustain when falling off a tree?

Not that I'm complaining though because honestly I am loving the research and all. But I've been so unsure about what I've been writing because I'm using Google for most of my research and you know how you can get dragged around in circles when using a search engine sometimes? Or worse. It just gives you the same information just rephrased but not actually answering your question? That. Most of my research ends with "go to the hospital" when I really need to know the field medic half of it XD

Asking Dr. Google either ends up with "go see a doctor" or "you're dying" XD XD

I love teaching medical stuff, though, so never be afraid to ask! :D I might not always have an answer immediately but if I don't know I'll research it. Mind you, I just info-dumped below, so I'll put a little cut so it doesn't engulf everyone's dash lol.

How to splint a broken arm: Depends on where the break is, so we'll go through the major ones! Some Broken Bone Basic supplies that you'll need:

Padded splint! In real life they're literally just a wooden board with foam on one side all covered with plastic for easier cleaning - in LoZ land it can be a wooden board with cloth tied around it - kind of like a pillowcase except you really want padding on one side so you don't put a board directly on someone if that makes sense.

Cravats! Some kind of long cloth, like a scarf *cough cough* that can be used to tie things together.

Sling! Not always needed, but definitely needed for upper extremity injuries. To make a sling, take any cloth and fold it so you have a triangle. If you started with a rectangular/square cloth, just take the bottom left corner and bring it to the top right to make your triangle! Once you've got the triangular shape, take the point in the triangle that is opposite of the hypotenuse (ho boy dusting off my math cobwebs) and tie it into a knot. This is your anchor for your patient's elbow. I take the tip, twist it a little bit, form a circle (doughnut) with it, and feed the tip through the whole in the middle of the circle. Ta-da! Got your knot. Also now you have an instant sling! :D

Now let's get into bones!

Broken humerus (your upper arm bone): lay a padded splint over the upper arm. Tie two cravats or pieces of cloth around the splint and the arm, one above the break and one below it. Never tie on a joint! Make sure you tie the knots on the hard side of your splint so you don't have this big tight knot sitting on your patient's arm, they're already hurting enough! Once you've got the splint secured, give them a sling! I'll talk about how to tie the sling to the patient in a minute.

Broken radius and/or ulna, i.e. the two bones in your forearm. Place the padded splint under the forearm, i.e. if their palm is facing the floor, place the splint on the side of their palm. Make sure the splint covers from fingertips to elbow so they can just rest their arm on it. You might need to put like a washcloth or handkerchief bunched up in their palm so their hand can rest without their wrist being at a weird angle. Again, secure the splint to the bone by tying above and below the point where you think it's broken. Do not tie on joints. Add a sling and you're all done!

Broken wrist. Oof, this one hurts. Same song and dance as the forearm, except one of the cravats ties around the fingers/hand rather than both being on the forearm. Be careful, though! And remember to add the sling.

How to tie a sling to a Link patient! Take your anchor, the knot you made, and place it against your Link's elbow. Then you want to feed one corner of your traignular cloth between your patient's affected arm and his chest. This piece then goes over his shoulder. The other side of the triangle goes over the opposite shoulder. Got your untied corners hanging over his shoulders? Good! Now what you want to do is adjust your sling before you tie it! Stand behind your Link and twist those corners until his arm is at an adequate height that is comfortable - not too low, not too high. I usually go for having their arms at a slight angle upwards, not quite parallel to the floor. Once you've got his arm at the right spot, tie the two ends together behind his neck. Try to pad behind his neck where you tie it, put a cloth there or something so the knot isn't on him directly. Final step is to take a different cloth and tie around his slinged arm and his torso on the opposite side to ensure he can't flop his arm around. And ta-daaa you've got a sling!

Important note! Broken bones can do more than just cause pain and, well, broken bones. They can cut blood vessels, pinch nerves, do all kinds of nasty things. Always check to make sure your patient's affected extremity has good blood flow and innervation! Pinch Link's fingernails and make sure they pink up fast. That's called capillary refill and it checks how well he's perfusing. Tell Legend to wiggle his fingers (no, don't flip me off, Ledge, good grief) to ensure he's got good motor nerve innervation and his muscles aren't messed up. Tickle Sky's palm and ask him what you're doing to see if his sensory input is still intact. Check both before and after you splint your patient! You don't want to make their injury worse, after all.

OK! Next questions.

Easiest break to set at home? None of them. Please never set breaks at home. They probably won't heal properly. But if I had to give an answer for writing purposes, probably midline forearm as long as there are no complications? I.e. right in the center of one of their forearm bones. Just know it likely won't heal right if it isn't addressed.

Most likely break you'll find when a kid fall out of a tree? Probably a greenstick fracture in their arm. Greenstick fractures are when the bone only breaks partially and breaks open like when you're trying to snap a stick in half. You know if you snap a still-living stick it kind of just partially splits for you? That's a greenstick fracture. They're really only seen in kids (like pre-teen) because kid bones are still developing. Likely if your kid fell out of a tree they'd try to catch themself with their arm and then snap hello greenstick fracture. Hopefully they don't hit their head too, ouch.

Hope this helps! :D It's a lot of info, if I confused anybody, just ask. Now go make some splints and slings at home, it's fun! :D And comes in handy, I splinted my hand one time when I hurt my wrist at work.

#you ask skye answers #and goes bonkers #lovely anon #this is a simplification of the process but #I'll make all of you first responders before this is over #skye talks medical stuff

A translation of 星新一 (Shinichi Hoshi)’s short story, 誘拐 (Kidnapping.) I quite enjoyed reading this in Japanese and wanted to give it a shot as my first translation project.

注: I benefited greatly from flashfictionjapan’s translation; the perspective of prior translators was vital in my efforts. I am a complete beginner, so I do not stand by this as the “one true” translation of the work (nor do I think such a thing exists!) Critique is welcome so long as you keep in mind that I am doing my best, and also that literal =/= correct.

And, without further ado, the story!

The doctor leapt up at the phone’s ring. He put it to his ear, and from its jet black depths came a thin voice.

“Hello, is this the master of the house?”

“That’s me; what is it?”

“That would make you the famed Dr. Estrela; is that correct?”

“Yes, that’s right, but who in the world is this?”

“I’m afraid I won’t be introducing myself, but I’m sure you’ve guessed by now what I’m here to discuss with you. Isn’t that right?”

And here the voice succumbed to a chilly laughter.

“Oh—then you—!”

That cool voice interrupted the doctor once again.

“Precisely. Your child is, of course, just falling asleep here.”

The doctor’s voice shook. “You’ve taken my son? And what do you plan to do with him? He’s my whole world—not even a year old—”

“If he meant so much to you, you wouldn’t have left him in the car while you went about doing your silly little errands.”

“So that’s when you took him? When I’d just gone in to get a magazine! You must’ve had your eye on him from long before.”

“Now, Doctor. Instead of panicking, why don’t you accept reality, like any good scientist?”

“Why on earth are you doing this? If you had some kind of grudge against me, we could have settled it personally. This kind of cruelty—”

“No, nothing like a grudge, Doctor. If anything, I’d say I quite respect you.”

“Then what are you going to do? My wife is being driven mad; she’s bedridden!”

At this, the voice donned a layer of concern.

“Oh, Doctor, you don’t say! You haven’t called the police, have you?”

“No, not yet. I thought, just in case, I’d better wait to see if you called first, and that’s where I was when you did. Now just don’t hurt my son.”

“Just as I’d expect from you, Doctor. Given all that, you see there’s no cause for alarm. Your son is quite safe. Now, to business.”

“‘Business’. But you must know that to kidnap a child, to demand money for a child, is a heinous crime.”

“Of course, yes, I know that. But let me tell you this, Doctor—what I don’t know is what will happen to your child if you try anything funny.”

“Please—please just wait! How much do you want?”

“Let’s put it plainly. What I want is the Doctor’s recently completed, most heavily rumored secret—that is, the blueprints to the robot.”

“What?! No, that’s impossible.”

“Now, now, putting it that way just sounds like selfishness, Doctor.”

“You’re talking about something I made to punish evil. I can’t even consider the idea of putting it in the hands of someone like you. I’ll pay anything you like, so just give me an amount in money and have done with it!”

“But, Doctor, it’s just as you’ve always said: research can’t be bought in money, can it? Speaking of which, by the way, when it comes to turning those blueprints into money, I’m certain I’ll be far more effective at it than you.”

“Oh, to hell with you! And you dare to still call yourself human?!”

“The very same. And here’s your evidence—just like anybody else, I’ve got my cravings.”

“A bastard like you shouldn’t be allowed to live!”

“Come now, don’t get excited. You mustn’t forget, you’re responsible for the life of your child.”

“Fine. There’s nothing I can do. Let me respond to your proposition.”

“Yes, of course! There’s my rational Doctor.”

“But first, you’re telling me that my son is definitely there with you now?”

“Don’t you worry about that. Yes, right here on the sofa, sleeping soundly all this time.”

“Alright. That’s a relief, I suppose. But let me hear his voice, just to be sure.”

“He doesn’t talk yet, does he?”

“No, even a cry is enough. Please, let me hear the cry of my child, so I can respond with surety.”

“It’s really alright with you? To make your child cry?”

“To be sure my child is safe? Of course. Just pull one ear hard for me, please. No matter what, the nerves of his ear are quite sensitive; even in sleep it’s certain to make him cry.”

“That’s an oddity, isn’t it? Well, alright. I’m going to try it now. But a baby’s cry is loud, and we wouldn’t want anyone to come running... I’m going to shut the window.”

“That’s just fine. If you’re worried, go ahead and lock the door, too.”

“What?”

“Whatever you like. Quickly, let me hear my child’s cry. Prove to me that he’s safe and sound.”

“Please, patience. I’m about to do it. Let’s end this and get back to our business.”

For a moment the line grew quiet, followed by the sound of a window closing. Then a distant voice could be heard.

“Alright, son, your father says he wants to hear you cry. This might hurt, but you’re just going to have to deal with it.”

The doctor pressed the phone to his ear with all the force in his hands.

A violent explosion sounded.

Returning the phone to its cradle, the doctor laughed to himself.

“They never guess that the ear is the trigger. One more villain down.”

Hullo! So, this isn't specifically life advice. But I was wondering how did you guys start your podcast? I've been wanting to do one since last year, but was never able to have the proper equipment, people to do it with, etc...Any advice?

How to Start A Podcast

Choose a podcast hosting service. I use Buzzsprout because it was the first one that came up when I searched for podcast hosting services. A podcast hosting service is very similar to Icloud storage. You’re given a small amount of air time for free, and then you pay a monthly fee for any additional hours you want. It’s very reasonable. Right now I’m paying for 6 hours a month, and thankfully that fee is covered by my lovely patrons!

I believe Buzzsprout gives you two hours for free. If you’re testing the waters and not sure that you want to make this sort of commitment, register and release an episode or two, see if it works for you. If you’re more serious, you will need to start on one of the paid plans.

Create podcast artwork. You cannot even upload a podcast episode to any podcast streaming services without cover artwork, a description, and an actual episode recorded. Uploading is pretty self-explanatory, all of the podcast hosting services have step by step instructions. Make sure to follow the specific artwork dimensions specified by your hosting service!

Create theme music. I have not done this. I don’t think I’ll ever do this? But you may want to! It’s super important that the music is either something you’ve created or something that the creator has given you specific permission to use. Hosting services do care about copyright material.

Record an episode. I wasn’t sure if I was really going to do this, so I didn’t buy anything for the first month I was recording episodes! I just recorded using Garageband. Eventually I did invest in a Blue Yeti Mic, with the knowledge that after two months, my Patrons will have paid for it in full. One month left and it will be paid off! This is the home podcast standard mic!

Definitely listen to some of my earlier episodes in comparison with the ones I’ve released recently, you can really hear the audio quality difference! But again, I’m not sure how worthwhile it is to spend lots of money unless you’re 100% sure this is something you want to do.

Also- consider recording in your closet or in a small other room that is not echo-y. It’s not glamorous, but it does make a noticeable difference in your audio quality.

Approval by your hosting service. Before you can release your first episode out into the world, it has to go through a long approval process. The first step of this process is submitting you finished episode for approval by your podcast hosting service. Mine approved my podcast a few hours after I sent it in. Someone actually has to listen to your entire first episode to make sure it doesn’t have super explicit content (they give examples of what this is). If your podcast has explicit content, that’s fine, you just have to specify that. But some particularly gruesome content is not allowed, hopefully nothing you would ever want to record!

Please note: Your podcast hosting service approving your episode does not mean that your episode is now available on all streaming platforms, each streaming platform has a different approval process. Being approved by your podcast streaming service just means that you’re approved by them. Which is a start!

Buzzsprout gives each podcast an individual webpage with a media player. Listeners can visit your podcast website directly and listen to any episode you upload there, and they can also subscribe through Buzzsprout. I actually get more plays through Buzzsprout itself than Itunes or Spotify, so I always send a link to my latest episode on my blog. Here is my site.

Approval by streaming services. Once you’re approved by your podcast hosting service, you can then apply to be approved by podcast streaming services. Buzzsprout has submission forms linked on your podcast admin page as well as step by step instructions on how to submit your podcast to various different streaming services. I applied to Apple, Spotify and Google. Google approved me within a couple hours, Apple approved me a week and a half later, and Spotify approved me but never sent me an email stating I’d been approved. It does not cost any money to be approved or to have your content appear on any of these streaming platforms.

If you have a listener who uses a smaller less popular podcasting app (like pocketcast) they can add your podcast stream directly on it. The stream is displayed on your podcast website.

Get familiar with your admin panel. I upload episodes weeks ahead of time and schedule them for release at later dates. I don’t personally use Spotify or Google Podcasts, but I know Apple releases your episode within four hours of you formally publishing it through your podcast host. Once your podcast is approved by a streaming service, it’s worthwhile to look at how the podcast displays on that streaming service. I had my podcast description in the wrong place when Apple did finally publish my first episode, and had to quickly go on and edit the podcast. Edits also take time to display on streaming services.

Zencastr? Zencastr is a free service (it does have premium options which I don’t bother with) that is super helpful when recording with people who live far away or who don’t have professional equipment. I log on, create a track, and share the link with a guest. The guest then logs on. They don’t have to download anything! Zencastr records everybody’s audio on a separate track, stores it in the cloud, and then you can download, edit, and mix it as you like. It also saves episodes you record so that if you’re stupid and delete something you’re not supposed to, you can just go back in and download the wav/mp3 file. Again, it’s free, so there is a storage space limit. But it’s been a serious lifesaver for me!

Editing software? Not something I’ve invested in at this point. Maybe in the future. I use Garageband and it works well enough for me.

I have so much fun recording Your New Apartment the podcast with all of my wonderful guests! Please listen to it. I pour my heart out on it! It’s available on all of your favorite streaming services.

Please write me a review on Itunes. Please consider supporting me on Patreon! Or buy some Your New Apartment merch from my Society6. My Patrons are incredible and have literally paid for my podcast to be hosted as well as paid for my microphone. I can’t thank them enough for all of their love and support.
