(I know it’s a lot of these since Larry last blogged. I’ll see if I can’t get him to give an update this week)
Way back in Season 2 (Episode 23) our hosts Steve Diamond and Larry Correia shared some observations/lessons/epiphanies they had during a (then) recent shooting class they attended. This year, new class- new revelations.

This week’s episode is sponsored by Stephanie Osborne’s Meetings (Blood Brothers Book 1)
A lone boy, orphaned by the Nazis and imprisoned in a concentration camp.
A dragon-like being, elected to the leadership of the galactic government.
What do these two beings have in common? Why would they meet in one of the most war-torn regions of Earth? And what does it mean for Earth, and the galaxy?

I hate to say it, but Larry almost killed me today. There I was, doing my normal thing of working out while listening to podcasts. I was in the middle of a set of overhead press when Larry starts talking about how no other profession gets judged by how bad their first year is. Then adds, except maybe surgeons who kill a bunch of people, or jet fighter pilots. I started laughing, which is a very bad thing when you have over a hundred pounds of steel above your head. Not cool, Larry. Not cool.
I’m kidding, of course. Nearly dropping weights on my head is my fault for laughing and losing control, not Larry’s for being entertaining.
Great episode. Positive psychology is a fascinating field that high performers and sports psychologists were deep into well before us in the clinical world. It’s super useful, and highly recommend everyone give this episode a listen, even if they don’t want to be writers, as it can really help you navigate life.
Good job as always, and yes, you can ALWAYS learn new things…
Glad to hear the missus pulled through. Can’t imagine.
Also, I feel less bad about not getting much writing done between the baby and the job. I’ve been able to squeak out some in the hour before I go to bed but very little.
