It was a true pleasure to meet some of y'all at TAFCON today and speak alongside so many legendary audio drama creators! The Hallowoods fandom really is extraordinary, and if this convention shows nothing else, it's that every comment/livescreaming post/reblog/piece of fanart/fanfiction/fancrochet matters. Thank you for making the Hallowoods (and so many other shows) so rewarding to create week after week! Have a safe trip home everybody, and see you around the bend!

Happy Pensive Day!
Happy Pensive Day Hallowoods!
Okay, question about writing!
(feel free to dm me if it's better/if you're up for a longer conversation about the topic)
Basically, my writing is very... simplistic and bare-bones. Just a lot of 'A does B and feels C in this moment' type stuff. I'd very much like to move away from just that and get into writing more impactful, evocative, deep and complex things like you do for HFTH.
How in the HELL do I even start learning to do something like that?
I started from a place of writing an overly complicated metaphor for every single piece of description, and am always trying to get more simplistic and bare-bones! But some of my most fun challenges in writing HFTH come from trying to play a game. I like repetitions of three, or certain characters having a signature piece of opening or description that comes up again at important moments. I like an opening sentence that immediately raises an internal question in the audience. "Diggory Graves knew three things," immediately causes the audience to ask, "what are those three things?" and then they're listening for another 45 seconds.
Play some games! Write a story where every paragraph begins with a new time of the day, or a single adjective, or a color. When you introduce a character, tell us the three most important things we need to know about them. Put a perspective in a story someplace it wouldn't usually be (the spoon in the hand of your main character rather than the main character themself). Breaking the rules can lead to some fun places! As a side note, I'm always trying to get further away from telling the audience that character A feels C in this moment. As Bryan Cranston once said, "If a character cries, the audience doesn't have to... but if a character tries not to cry, that's when the audience will." In a similar way, I feel like when I write 'Character A feels angry about the situation', it's easy for the audience to not care at all what Character A feels. I typically try to tell us instead that Character A's head feels hot, like her forehead is burning and her ears hold so much pressure they might explode, that she clenches her fists so hard that her nails leave deep marks in her palms, that she grits her teeth and says thank you to the person she's talking to even though she really wants to put her elbow straight into their nose. And all those things are telling you that she's angry without saying it directly, which I feel is much more relatable for all the angry people of the world.
Hey, hey so I just caught up on last week's episode, and respectfully, what the fuck
Old man yaoi stonks are way down
Have you made a Spotify playlist for season 6 yet? 👀
Here we go! I expect it'll get a lot longer by the time the season writing is done!

dumb question: are Jackie and Heidi (more specifically their names) a small nod to Jekyll and Hyde?
You noticed!
Hello dreamers! As with the last few episodes, we're looking at a Wednesday afternoon/evening ETA For Episode 204! After this, we'll see a 2-week break and then more episodes April 8th and onwards!
This season might have several short breaks like this as the writing/editing workload is balanced with a very packed year, but I'm so enjoying being back in the Hallowoods grind and can't wait for you to see all that Season 6 has to offer as it rolls forward.
Mx Wellman I have been falling asleep to the sound of your voice nearly every night for the past 2 years now. A story that's imaginative and provocative enough to keep my brain occupied even after countless listens, but warm and safe enough to let it wind down. Perfect balance. You have done more for my insomnia than any doctor ever managed. Sometimes your voice actually seeps into my dreams. What a trick of metatheatricality, huh?
I am convinced there is a not insubstantial part of our audience that primarily uses the show as a sleep aid and I love that! Thanks for tuning in!
