Chapter Fifty Two: Failure's not that bad!
Congrats to the winners of WordAnvil's Kyanite story challenge! d20sapphire is excited to finally publish the first anthology from this great community. Unfortunately, she didn't make the cut to get published. She thinks about how she's surprised how well she's taking that, and reassures her that she is good to go to continue "failing" in the pursuit of being published.
Here's Lindsay Ellis' great story of her struggle to get her first novel published: https://youtu.be/tuRE55YH8yE

Chapter Fifty One: The Discontents Complete a Mission
The great thing about running a campaign on a regular basis is that it forces a creative to start using their mind for creation again. As d20sapphire is wading through a strange sort of funk, she's still having fun with the collaborative storytelling as the Fuyaoan Discontents finally finish their mission at the cult they infiltrated.
If you would like to read up about the adventures of the Fuyoan Discontents, you can find recaps of their adventures here: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/the-corporate-states-of-america-d20sapphire/c/tales-from-the-fuyaoan-discontents-category

Chapter Fifty: The Witcher and Tying Stories with Theme
d20sapphire watched all of Season One of the The Witcher on Netflix and was somewhat impressed. What struck her the most was how stories weren't told entirely in a linear fashion, but instead brought together with thematic element across the lives of the three main characters. She talks about it a bit in this episode.

Chapter Forty Nine: Are the Reviews Right? Some Fears for the Rise of Skywalker
d20sapphire is not important enough to have seen Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker before mass release. But she listens to a couple of reviewers and now she has some serious concerns for where the story is going. Unfortunately this wouldn't be the first time she would have been disappointed by Abrams.
List of linky-loos! First is The Rise of Skywalker review from Fandom Entertainment with Dan Murell and Roth Cornet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j3k5m1AGk4
Next is the review from Jeremy Jahns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hobn57uzQlk

Chapter Forty Seven: A Different Way of Looking at Family Influences
Last week it would have been very thematic for d20sapphire to release an episode about how she writes about families. Too bad she was too much of a stress bundle to do it! Instead, you get that episode this week. Apologies for the delay!
Her new WIP, Guion's Reach, can be found here: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/guions-reach-d20sapphire

Chapter Forty Six: A Writer's Rut
No it's not writer's block. It's a writer's rut. d20sapphire is in the middle of it now and wants to be honest to you all about what that means for NaNoWriMo and her current projects. She's not tossing anything aside, it's just going to take her longer than she anticipated.

Chapter Forty Five: Crafting Adversaries
With some helpful inspiration from @shambazzlegames, d20sapphire is talking about villains! She prefers to call them adversaries, but regardless of what they're called she has her way of creating them to be compelling and dynamic. After answering a twitter question about what type of villains she leans towards, Sapphy talks about her process and how she used it in her old D&D campaign.

Chapter Forty Four: The Discontents are On the Trail
Double the awesome in this episode! Not only d20sapphire provide a reading of her NaNoWriMo draft to give you a tease, but she also talks about the continuation of the mystery for the Fuyaoan Discontents. This was the game where the players felt truly unified, and that their actions were the most connected to aiding one another. Great roleplay with creepy culty vibes happened.

November is almost here, which for many writers means National Novel Writing Month. d20sapphire is participating this year! She talks about her experiences, why she's failed, and why she succeeded in 2017. Good luck to everyone else who's putting pen to paper (or word to text file) this next month!

Quick shout out to @shambazzlegames for the twitter prompts. They're super helpful.

Chapter Forty One: The Prologue About the Magical Facilities
Everyone has war stories about previous games, or as d20sapphire has decided to call them, Prologues. She talks about a situation in her college campaign where the players were supposed to take down a leader in a magical research facility. Unfortunately the players infiltration plots did not go smoothly. This is a story about a lose that became a win.
