The Writers' Block Party PodcastEpisode 96: Checkov’s Gun with JT BockRomantic suspense novelist JT Bock pushes all of Pru’s buttons by talking about her favorite movies in a discussion of Chekov’s Gun—a tool every writer should know about to lay the groundwork (and provide the glorious resolution) that turns indifferent readers into rabid fans. Where JT goes (Pru says), I will certainly follow!
2022-07-0846 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastEpisode 82: The End--Writing the Satisfying EndingListener, strap in: We range far afield, from how not to tick off your reader to how to use the ending to sell your next book. Epilogues are heavily discussed! Merry shares five ways to avoid the dreaded Bad Ending, and Pru asks all the simplistic, novice questions you were too embarrassed to ask. As usual!
Meredith quotes from an article entitled "Story Endings Your Readers Will Hate."
Next week, Pru and Merry will be discussing repeating motifs. We'll use "The Beach House" by Mary Alice Monroe as our starting point. Here's the Amazon link...

2022-02-1800 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastEpisode 70: Redefining SuccessIt’s been about a year since novice author Pru Warren published her first novel—and a bit more than a year since our podcast episode #13, where we defined several different definitions of success. How has a year in indie publishing changed Merry and Pru’s definitions? Turns out, the answers are pretty surprising!
2022-01-0731 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastEpisode 67:Gretchen Rubin‘s Four TendenciesMerry walks Pru through a remarkably adept method for understanding the motivations that make writing either a chore or a burden, as defined by famed sociologist Gretchen Rubin. Each of the four tendencies suggests great writing tools to assist you on your journey. And Pru sings a little at the end. Bonus!

2021-12-1735 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastEpisode 65:Writing--Art, Identity, or ProfessionHow do you perceive yourself? What role does writing play in your life? Is it time to move from “writer” to “author?” Merry starts asking some Big Thinking questions while Pru is staring stupidly into the Zoom screen. As usual, Merry gets Pru thinking and gabbing. Art, identity, or profession? The answer is YES!

2021-12-0330 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastEpisode #63: A Chat with JT BockIndie author JT Bock joins the podcast to discuss the current state of indie publishing (and what the hell is going on in traditional publishing!). Much hilarity and forehead palming when Merry compliments Pru on an Amazon sponsored ad that Pru didn’t know she was running. Plus—can an introvert survive an in-person book signing event? With JT on hand, you bet!
Some show notes:
The class JT recommended was Mark Dawson's "Ads for Authors."
Merry sent Pru a link to the Amazon ads portal; that link is https://advertising.amazon.com/
2021-11-1938 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastEpisode #61: Show versus TellPru begins the discussion in quite a belligerent mood because the always-annoying advice “Remember, dear: Show, don’t tell!” makes so little sense—-but Merry talks her down. Pru discovers that there are times when you should TELL, NOT SHOW (“HAH!” cries Pru in victory) and also learns the valuable link between “show” and both deep and shallow POV. Dang—that’s useful!
2021-11-0529 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastEpisode #58: Regency RomanceMeredith Bond (who needs more than all her fingers and all her toes to count the Regencies she’s written) explains why the Regency romance is such a popular genre. Her reasons astonish her rom-com co-host, Pru Warren, who (as usual) “never thought of it that way!” (Pru writes the podcast descriptions; can you tell??)
2021-10-1535 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastEpisode #53: Amazon CategoriesNovice writer Pru Warren discovers the occult mysteries of selecting Amazon categories and bowls experienced author Meredith Bond over in her rush to share what she learned. Merry smiles indulgently, like a fond mother watching her toddler learn to walk. (Obviously, Pru writes the show descriptions.) BISAC, ASIN, ISBN, Publisher Rocket, Book Link—it’s all demystified here so you can increase your book sales!
Some links that will help you:
The program Pru uses to explore categories is Publisher Rocket. It will cost you $99 to access their info (updated three times a day), and I re...
2021-09-1032 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastEpisode #52: The Big Overview: What we‘ve learned in our first yearOn the first anniversary of our podcast, Pru Warren and Meredith Bond take the time to admire ourselves very much. We look back on what we’ve learned (which is a staggering amount, in Pru’s case). Like a Greatest Hits album, we focus on the very best of The Writer’s Block Party Podcast. Yay, us!
2021-09-0334 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastFinding Your Target Audience with Jenny KateSpecial guest and wise interpreter of occult marketing mysteries JENNY KATE and Merry walk Pru gently through identifying the right audience. Pru discovers it’s NOT about guessing, or throwing a dart at a demographics map (neither of which was working very well). Instead, Jenny and Merry show Pru how science and reason can take the guesswork out of marketing. Oooh—I get it now!

2021-07-1644 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastVoiceFinding herself in a peculiarly belligerent mood, amateur author Pru speaks out strongly for the value of every author’s voice; acting as the wise soother of rough waters, Merry talks Pru off the ledge by reading her excerpts of books with undeniable “voice.” Pru gets caught up in the Voice Quest and finds a few examples of her own. Harmony is restored.
2021-06-1135 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastA Double Header: Patreon and ArchetypesA surprise dual topic: Merry and Pru discuss the concept of Patreons and paying to subscribe to podcasts (Pru is suspicious). And then Merry lays out not one but two mesmerizing systems of archetypes—one by Carl Jung (founder of analytical psychology) and one by Tami Cowden (charming author of romances and mysteries). May this startling pair live together forever, enshrined in a mythical archetype paradise!
Here are the lists (in PDF form) of archetypes Merry read out during the podcast -- just in case you couldn't write as fast as she talked:

2021-05-2136 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastInterview with Grace BurrowesPru and Merry (both plotters) welcome the “ne plus ultra” of the pantsing world—glorious author Grace Burrowes—who offers brilliantly practical ways to nurture the creative process, provides “I want to be that when I grow up” wisdom on career paths and self-confidence, and leaves us with a welcome reminder that this is supposed to be fun. “If my hands are on the keyboard, a part of me is happy.”
Grace recommends that Pru reads "Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products" by Nir Eyal and Ryan Hoover. Here's a link to the audiobook: https://www.amazon.com/Hoo...
2021-05-0749 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastDescribing DescriptionsAmong other things, Amazon has re-defined how the savvy author writes a book blurb…and Meredith knows all about it! She walks Pru through the modern book blurb, and Pru discovers a remarkable connection between the back-of-the-book copy and podcasts #28 and 29: Hooks! Ahh...it's all coming clear now!
2021-04-3033 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastPicking up the PacingDagnabbit, Meredith is just so SMART. Pru admits that she thought pacing was about the sequence of events. Meredith points out NOT that Pru is an idiot (because she’s kind) but that the very rhythm of the language is a tool that any author can use to propel the story forward. William Goldman’s “The Princess Bride” provides a highly useful example.
Some useful show notes:

2021-04-1631 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastLove ScenesBy reading excerpts and having heated discussions, Merry and Pru decide several things: A love scene doesn’t necessarily mean a sex scene; it doesn’t even have to involve both protagonists (if you’re as skillful as Merry). If you write a sex scene, then it must advance the plot. And if you’re writing sex scenes without emotion, then that’s just anatomy. You do you, boo-boo—-but that ain’t a romance.
If you want Pru's beautiful love scenes in Cyn and the Peanut Butter Cup, you can find it here.
If you want to re...
2021-04-0933 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastOpening HooksSubtitled "Merry and Pru become hookers." Why do some books draw you in, chapters deep before you even realize you’re invested, while others are so sadly put-downable? What makes the lead of a book into a sharp, silvery hook that draws the reader on? Pru gets entirely overstimulated while Merry explains. Many, many great books are used as examples.
2021-03-1940 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastDelving Deep Into GenreAfter some arguing and head-scratching, Pru and Merry decide there are eight overarching genres in romance, with a LOT of sub-strata below that. And we come up with a fistful of questions to ask about genre on the new Writer’s Block Party Podcast Discord server. Y’all come, now—hear??
Want to join us on the Discord server and answer some of these endless questions?? We'll be happy to send you the link. Email Merry at merry@meredithbond.com or Pru at pru@pruwarren.com
2021-03-1235 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastA Writer's ProcessPru assumes this will be a useful discussion about pantsing vs. plotting and is IMMEDIATELY hit upside the head with a revelation from Meredith about the critical first step in the writing process. Dang, man! After Pru picks herself up off the floor, Meredith calmly returns to pantsing and plotting and more.
Link to Meredith's "Writing Journal," available on Amazon as a paperback and Lulu in spiral bound.
2021-03-0538 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastDialogue“Merry,” said Pru, “give me the straight skinny on dialogue in a romance, wilya?” “As it happens,” Merry replied, “I can tell you the seven things that dialogue brings to your story.” “Seven? Shut the front door!” Pru goggled in astonishment. “That’s an action tag, by the way,” said Merry. “I know. I paid attention!” Pru beamed with pride.
2021-02-1240 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastTalking TropesFar from being “cheats” or ways to ride the coattails of other writers, the trope (and especially the romance trope) is the skeleton on which you build your glorious story. Merry walks Pru through tropes and smiles when Pru has the “EUREKA!” moment of realizing that the trope is also a hugely-valuable marketing tool. Ignorance is banished today!

2021-02-0537 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastPru's LaunchWhat actually takes place once a self-published author’s book goes live? Three days after the launch of “Cyn & the Peanut Butter Cup,” Pru throws a word salad of launch news at Merry who laughs and reassures Pru that the launch is going well. Pru attempts to contain her panic and confusion. Onward—onward!
2021-01-2937 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastUploading Pru's MasterpiecePru describes the confusion, excitement, and error messages involved in uploading her novel to Amazon…and IngramSpark…and Kobo…and Draft2Digital…and Apple. Well, not really Apple, since Apple now needs two full weeks to verify her taxpayer ID number, which, are you freaking KIDDING ME??
2021-01-0843 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastYour Author WebsiteHaving been studying about author websites, Pru volunteers to lead this podcast, trusting (correctly!) that any novice ignorance will be corrected by the wise Meredith. And then—o! Marvelous!—Pru actually tells Merry one tiny detail that Merry didn’t know! What are the odds?!
2020-12-2537 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastYour Marketing BudgetIn which things start simply with actual dollar signs and concrete goals and then spiral wildly out of control, leaving Pru slack-jawed (as usual). Book Bub, Amazon and Facebook ads, boosting posts, web hosting and email service providers--Merry walks Pru through it all. Knowledge is power, after all!
2020-11-2042 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastSelf-Editing, Part 2In which Pru and Merry find common accord on the subject of the Oxford comma but nearly come to blows over the concept of “theme,” which is (so far) WAY above Pru’s pay grade. Also: at last! A reason to justify the purchase of all these delicious highlighters!
2020-11-1344 minThe Writers' Block Party PodcastSelf-Editing, Part 1In which Pru discovers that Merry has been paying WAY more attention to first drafts than Pru has…and thereby turning Meredith Bond romances into tight, pithy, emotional jewels. “I want that, too!” declares Pru, and then grips her head at the emotional toll it’s going to take to get BETTER!

More personal than classes, more targeted than how-to books; a coach costs money…but it’s an investment, like a college education. Pru decides she’s ready to hire Merry as her tutor. (Obviously.
