I am aiming for a mid-April release for my book A Miserable Paradise. In this episode I talk about how important it is to consider audience and purpose (as well as making sense) when creating content. I also talk about what I found in author forums regarding negative comments, getting people to give honest feedback, when questions just beget more questions and being comfortable with that.

Putting the finishing touches on my book A Miserable Paradise which will be released next month. In this solo episode I talk about the editing process, an outline of the book itself and pondering the stupidest way someone could read something. Also check out the winter issue of The Drake and look for the piece I wrote about steelhead fishing. I also wrote a feature-length basketball piece for the Juneau Empire which was fun since my first journalism pieces were about sports.

Caleb Martin from the Alaska Outdoor Council is back to talk about the importance of the use of science in maintaining sustainable yield populations in Alaska and protecting public use. He talks about the devastating effects of choosing predators over prey in areas that used to be rich in Dall sheep and moose. We also talk about the importance of education as many people have their hearts in the right place, but just don't have access to the reality of Alaskan ecosystems.

The Alaska draws are out and again I drew nothing, but it really doesn't matter. Draw time is the time to get upset at non-residents for drawing the tag locals like and that is an absolute waste of time. In this episode I talk about how insane it is to go out of our way to be upset at people who make the hunts we want to happen, happen themselves. I also talk about how terrified I am of losing the wonder and excitement of a hunting experience.

Been neck deep in editing my book (hoping for an April release) and starting another writing project about basketball in southeast Alaska. So I've tricked myself into believing that I don't have time to do a podcast which is an absolute lie. I talk about this in a short solo episode.

After the positive rejection I received regarding my book manuscript, I have decided to self-publish my book A Miserable Paradise and see what happens. I felt like there was a stigma that was something like self-publishing was for authors who weren't good enough to get a book deal. But after talking to some authors and seeing how difficult it is to get a deal and how little you make in royalties, I've decided to go for it. In the latest round of edits I have felt both like I have a solid grasp on expression and that I am a total hack that couldn't write a coloring book.
