With Larry having done dozens of interviews in the last month alone and Steve interviewing SO many people over the years, it makes sense to cover this subject. WriterDojo hosts/Authors Steve Diamond and Larry Correia talk this week about interviewing and being interviewed.

WriterDojo S4 Ep6: Monsters (Round 3)

February 15, 2023 Jack Wylder 12 Comments

WriterDojo hosts/Authors Steve Diamond and Larry Correia just cannot get enough monsters! So the discussion continues this week with some tips for how, when, and why to create your own monsters (just in writing- sorry, Steve)

This week’s episode is sponsored by Herman Hunter’s new release the Wizard’s Stone

Odo didn’t know what was in store for him when the wizard called him into his study. The wizard gave him a simple task–deliver a stone, wrapped, sealed, and warded to a king halfway across the world. And to this end, Odo will be protected by a band of skilled mercenaries, paid a staggering fortune in gold.
Yet, the outside world is not as certain or safe as that of the wizard’s compound. A fact that Odo will learn, much to his horror and regret.

Another one for your amusement, fresh from the Book of Faces- Jack

Read both comments for a fascinating look into the psychology of my haters. 😀 The first is from this attempts instigator, the second is from one of my dumb stalkers.

From the people who sent this to me:

IT WAS DEVIOUS AND UNDERHANDED OF CORREIA TO CAUSE ME TO ATTACK HIM AT A MOMENT WHEN HE WAS GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION AND THEN NOT CRUMBLING TO MY RIGHTEOUS WHINING

Heh. 😀
Let’s think this through logically for a second, even though logic never causes the cranks to slow their roll.

If this was all my clever Skeletor/Cobra Commander level plan, why wouldn’t I have forced them to attack me the week before release week instead of the week after, when it would have made the most difference? That’s very sloppy for a chess master such as myself.

Oh wait. I had no control over when MarsCon announced me as a guest. Whoops. Next month. Close enough!

And if I can trick the perpetually offended into throwing a tantrum on demand, wow, that seems like it would say a lot more about them than me! But anyways…

That was so clever of me to provoke them into screeching outrage within a month of a new release with an announcement I had no control over about me agreeing to be a guest at an event a year from now.

I should probably pre-schedule their outrage for my next book releases in April and October more carefully.

Oh yeah, if you think about it, since unlike most of my detractors I actually produce books rather than just whine about them on the internet, so I’ve usually got some product coming out three to five times a year to promote. So if social justice mob outrage within a month means free promotion… there is literally no time where they can scream about me where I don’t benefit.

Holy shit. I am brilliant.

But wait. There is one way these people can test this theory. They could just LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE. 😀

Yep. That’s the flaw in my super devious plan. I can’t profit off their endless screaming about me, if they never scream at me again.

They should totally test that out. For like, forever.
