If someone else's writing method keeps you from finishing your novel, maybe it's the wrong method for *you*.

What part of your process have you learned to trust?

Five names. Two technologies. Three ships. All in the *first paragraph*. Would you keep reading, or are you already lost?

This week on In Your Spare Time, author Premee Mohamed reads "Petty Expectations." Ursula begins this two-part post, "I’ve been pondering, tracing connections, wondering about expectations." In part one, she looks at literary fiction; in part two, young adult fantasy.

In her commentary, Premee Mohamed connects this post with her own experience with genre snobs—and with what she's taken from Ursula's work.

Recorded about a minute and a half of my story, SINKING ALL THE WHILE, from the lovely THE BOOK OF THE DEAD author copies that just arrived!

Sometimes when there's a murder mystery you need to ask a wide selection of eyewitnesses what they saw... the canal that the victim fell into, for instance, as well as maybe, I don't know, the medical examiner... his older daughter... his dog... you know how it goes. :)

Join host Premee Mohamed as she talks with featured author Turi King about her book, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘿𝙉𝘼.

The 1984 discovery of DNA fingerprinting marked the start of a whole new era in the study of our DNA. Genetics has become a key to unlocking criminal and immigration cases, essential to our food safety, to the protection of threatened wildlife and to resolving questions of history and archaeology, ancestry and even, for some, identity.

Professor Turi King, one of the world’s most eminent authorities on DNA and genetic research, takes us on a journey to understand the real science behind some of the world’s most famous crimes,from dead kings to modern murders, showing how DNA can both convict and exonerate. And moving from mistaken dinosaur DNA to Angelina Jolie’s BRCA1 gene, from eugenics to epigenetics, and the study of Hitler’s DNA, she explains how genetics informs every aspect of our lives, why it affects us all, and what it can—and can’t—tell you about who you are.

Fascinating, compassionate and entirely captivating, The Secrets of Our DNA shows us how we are all interconnected. It also reminds us that while our DNA can yield information about our predisposition to disease and other conditions, it need not be our destiny. And, perhaps most importantly, she shows us why we should all be a part of the discussion as to how new genetic discoveries are used for the benefit of all life on earth.

(extremely cautious voice) I left the house?? And I went to our little block party and it was nice! And everyone was lovely and there was music and there were dogs! (And now that I am home the cats are judging me pretty hard.) by @premeesaurus
