It's that time of the year again. The pollen is thick, it's still sometimes gloomy, and the imposter syndrome is strong.
Every writer feels like they flounder or hit a wall. Not the goblins though, they're perfect.
jk.
The goblins check in with each other's writing journey. What hurdles have they been feeling, how are they coping, what are they looking forward to?

This week, we delve into TRAUMA! How it shapes us as people, our perspectives, and how it always finds its way into our fiction—one way or another.
Writers have to wait. That's just a fact of life. Between submissions, queries, releases, cover art, edits, and more—it's likely you're going to find yourself waiting more often than not. This week we discuss how to practice patience and strategies to take the pain away from the process!
PLM is back from the Planet Alimnia and that means that the Dead Languages Podcast is back at full force!
This week we're talking about single-author collections and how you can choose to name them.

Carson's alone again while PLM is lost in space!
This week, author Patrick Barb joins Dead Languages to talk about horror writing hot takes. Will our white-hot opinions finally cause us to be banished from the scene? Listen and find out!
PLM is off on terrible new adventures, so Carson is home alone. So, who does he invite over? Erik McHatton, of course!
Carson and Erik catch up on their reading by checking out two stories lauded within the horror canon.
Author and goblin PL McMillan went to Ghoulish in San Antonio and did a bunch of live interviews with attendees! Listen in on the shenanigans.
We made it 100 episodes! Why'd we go and do that?
This week we have four guests on to celebrate Dead Languages with a game of deranged jeopardy!
Thank you to Erik McHatton, Matt Brandenburg, Kai Delmas, and Dave Serrette for joining us!
