Ok, he didn't get (sort of) married on the episode, but he's had three weddings to plan so far this year and has been absent for some time, and we were so thrilled upon his return that we promptly forgot about third person omniscient, which was ostensibly the focus of the episode. Krispy isn't legally married (which makes him no less wedded to his wife, in our humble opinion; they just haven't clued in Uncle Sam yet), but perhaps that will come in a later episode.

What do we talk about, you ask? We've got a real smorgasbord for you here, with a bit more talk about writer's block; creative discipline; historical trivia; scatological and bodily humor; poetry struggles; and how to become an ordained, internet-accredited minister.

Stories begin at the 10:30 mark and include a raccoon, a tense exit in the rain, a story with urine jokes (fair warning!), a story with poop jokes (another fair warning!), and a story that got a bit too heartrending.

This week the Cru swap tales and writing tips for overcoming every writer's stalking shadow: writer's block. PC focuses on writing to a deadline; WebEater lauds the primacy of the editing process (you can't, after all, edit a blank page!), and Murph Kobayashi Marus the whole thing by changing his mindset.

Stories start around the 20:30 mark and include a meet cute; a meat cute; a prehistoric intellectual/inventor; and another meet cute (but this time through the nostalgic eyes of a lost grandfather).

RIP the Fekemobile.

This week author Olivia Snow joins the Cru to talk regency romance writing, writing while parenting, and the mutual suffering all writers share. We talk shop along the way, from character creation to outlining to marketing, and take a good long look at how to create real depth for characters.

The flash fiction portion of the podcast kicks off at 12:40 and includes a crusty (or at least, suspected to be crusty) duke, a light haunting, a snowball fight, and the alteration of travel plans.

Check out Olivia's work at her website and her instagram!
