“But I Digress…”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand
After an unintended hiatus, I, Nathan Marchand, return with a proper episode! I conclude my four-part series–finally–on writing speculative fiction. Part 3 detailed the major subgenres of fantasy, and this episode does the same for science fiction.

I reflect on how much impact the legendary Leonard Nimoy has had on my life. He was an amazing man and will be greatly missed by the geek community.
I’ll never be able to watch Spock’s death and funeral from “Star Trek II: The Wrath of the Khan” the same way ever again.
(Featuring the music track “Amazing Grace” by James Horner).
After stirring up a bit of controversy in my previous video where I went on a satirical rant about why I hate Fifty Shades of Grey, I respond to some of the internet trolls in this snarky follow-up.
If this video receives any insulting comments–especially any related to autism–I will disable the comments. No trolls will have fun with this.
This is intended to humorous, but I do stand by what I say. I only criticize what was said and how the trolls behaved.
It’s been a while since I posted a Digression–and boy, is this one a doozy! I go on an angry rant about why I hate “Fifty Shades of Grey” and I’m boycotting the film adaptation.

The annual tradition returns!
This year for your listening (dis)pleasure, I sing the classic “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey–and learn that I should never sing tenor ever again! I freely admit I’d be an “American Idol” reject. I hope you find it funny and sing along.

Remember that kaju novella I self-published a few years ago? I just released a brand new special edition! So, I decided to interview my collaborators on that exciting project in the first ever round table f or my show. The panel includes Nick Hayden, Natasha Hayden, and Timothy Deal. We discuss how we went about writing each of our sections of the epic giant monster thriller. Lots of laughs and insights.

Two years! Two years I’ve been doing this show. (I’m as surprised as you, trust me). 😛
To celebrate, as has become an unintentional tradition with me, I discuss selling books at conventions. However, this time you’ll be hearing from some of my dear writer friends from Gen-Con 2014. Yes, you don’t have to listen to be ramble for once. Enjoy!

Now that you’ve learned the “rules” for writing speculative fiction, it’s time to learn about the types of stories you can tell. Knowing this will help you focus your writing, ascertain what your audience’s expectations are, and and know how to market your stories.
