So, over on our substack, LIVING HAPPY, I’ve been talking a lot about creating our own realities in relation to success and meaning.  This is really just sort of diving deep to realize that maybe your perspective isn’t the one you want. When you attain your goals, do they satisfy you? That’s really the question. Listen to us talk about this, losing your junk (and word choice) and finding success your own way.

Since it’s the time of holidays for many religions, we thought it would be a great time to talk about the ancient types of drunk-foolery from the 1500s and how they still exist today. And, a random story about a sleigh-riding Santa. There’s a great post on Medium from back in November by Jack Shepherd one of Buzzfeed’s former directors. I know nothing about Jack Shepherd but he has a post “These Are the 8 Types of Drunk, According to the 16th Century” and since NYE is coming up, I wanted to have a podcast about it. All of Shepherd’s list comes from Thomas Nashe wrote a pamphlet called “Pierce Penniless: His Supplication to the Devil.” Nashe was on this Earth in the late 1500s and he was a silly man. DOG TIP FOR LIFE Don’t wait to be drunk to tell people you love them. Embrace who you are without the intoxicating liquors, human.

Sometimes you see these little bastards in text or sometimes you might want to put them in there yourself. Gasp! We aren’t here to tell you how to be fancy or not, but we are here to let you know how to be fancy correctly and not look like a schmuck. E.g. is short for exempli gratia, or “for example.” But this is a REAL example, so you can use it when you mean, “here are examples.” I.e. is short for id est, which pretty much means “that is” or “in other words.” This one you use like you’re saying “in other words” or “in essence.” It usually clarifies things. So, you could say, I like books, e.g. big books, small books, happy books, cook books, all books that rhyme, all books about crime, all books about time. Someone might punch you if you say that, but whatever. You do you. For i.e., you would write, I like books, i.e., anything that I can read and is bound or on my Kindle or Nook. You’re clarifying what books are. Or you could say, I like some books, i.e., anything by Carrie Jones and only Carrie Jones. Shameless self plug up there. Thanks for listening to Write Better Now. The music you hear is made available through the creative commons and it’s a bit of a shortened track from the fantastic Mr.ruiz and the track is Arctic Air and the album is Winter Haze Summer Daze.

This week we talk about the take-aways from spending time with the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, plus weird junk finds. Because why not? Filmmaker Peggy Callahan spent a lot of time listening to spiritual leaders while working with author Doug Abrams who co-authored The Book of Joy. She wrote for the Today Show, “Their message is needed now more than ever. We’re heading into the “most wonderful time of the year” and yet so many people are struggling. We’re wrestling with how to bring “joy to the world” when life is wrought with stress and challenges.” They also created  “Mission: JOY — Finding Happiness in Troubled Times,”a documentary.

Thanks for being here with me and cheering me on, and I hope that you can become braver this year, too! I say all that, but sometimes I feature a Grammy Barnard Poem. Grammy Barnard died at the age of 102 and I was the youngest child by a lot of her youngest child, so in my head she was always older. I think she was in her 70s when I was born. These poems make me feel a bit closer to her, allow me to imagine her in her 30s. And I like being able to do that. So, here’s a Grammy Barnard poem. Hey, thanks for listening to Carrie Does Poems.

Weather vs Whether It’s sexy to know the difference. So, a lot of people mess up weather vs whether. I actually had one writer who just spelled the word consistently wrong as a totally made up word wether. Anyway these bad boys are homophones which means they sound the same aloud, but they have different meanings and different spellings. WEATHER – This is a noun or a verb. It can be what it’s like outside (hot, rainy, stormy, sunny_ or it can mean that you’re a bad ass and you’ve withstood some crap. You have weathered the zombie apocalypse with nary a scratch. Whoo, the weather today is amazing. It’s legit snowing glitter fairies. WHETHER is no noun. It is no verb. This bad boy is a conjunction and it basically is the same thing as saying if. It connects choices in a sentences. Yo, I plan to have a Bigfoot love affair whether or not he’s real. Whether you think it is or not, I am so in love with how cool your rainbow farts are. And there you go. WETHER never works. You can check out my blog here.  Thanks for listening to Write Better Now.

Last week, I took a little break because of the holiday in the U.S., but this week, we’re talking about cause and effect in fiction novels. Troubleshooting Your Novel by Steven James has a big section about this: He suggests asking yourself these questions to fine-tune your story. “Do realizations or insights occur after the event that caused them (as would naturally happen), or do I have things in the wrong order? “Does this scene move from cause to effect? If not, why not? Can I tweak the story to show the natural flow of events rather than stop after they’ve happened to explain why they did? “Does context dictate that I reverse the order to effect to cause? Rendering the story this way will force readers to ask, “Why?” Do I want them to do so at this moment in the book? Would lack of clarity about the character’s intention help readers engage with the story at this point? If it won’t, how can I recast it? “What will I do to ensure that each ball rolls naturally away from the one that just hit it, both in action sequences and in dialogue?” And for a quicker fix, he suggests: “Analyze every scene, as well as every paragraph, to weed out cause-and-effect problems. Pinpoint the connections between events. Does each action have an appropriate consequence? Does the emotional resonance of a scene fit in congruently from the actions within that scene?” Thanks for listening to Write Better Now.

So, this podcast episode is probably going to be Shaun’s favorite because he grew up in a family that was not uptight about sex. I, however, grew up in a family where a couple of the branches pretended we were all born out of the immaculate conception or just maybe sperm drops on a toilet or something. We have some friends—good friends—who are currently exploring all things sexual in a consensual, relationship way. They aren’t uptight. Shaun’s not uptight. And one of these things are not like the others. Spoiler: Me. I’m the thing that’s not like the others. But, it turns out that a lot of people are like me. Join us as we talk about five ways people are uptight and our bonus random thought about people who received a letter about secret spaces in their new home.

Over on Medium, Michael Lin has a post of short tidbits that he’s learned from reading 100 self-development books. That’s a lot of books. And it’s a lot of two-three sentence tidbits that he has, but one of them leapt out at met his week. And it’s this: “Don’t attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity. Most of the world is not trying to fuck you over. Most of the world can do stupid things though, especially me.” DOG TIP FOR LIFE You might expect everyone to throw you into the dog pound or the UPS man to come steal your bacon, but it’s just fear.

Let’s say your cat gets trapped in the pantry overnight and manages to chew through two bags of cat nip, spread it throughout the pantry and then have a panicked pea on top of a bucket of cashews before knocking over a vase, which smashes to the ground alerting you to the fact that she’s been stuck in there all night. Or let’s say you’re a guy who decides to eat 40 whole chickens for 40 days. You can take those experiences and be . . . something? This episode we look into the chicken man and the cat peeing in the pantry and the scale of positive and negative experiences.
