Advertise on podcast: Utter Randomness with Lulu

In this restart episode of Utter Randomness with Lulu, I talk about where the podcast has been, where it’s going, and why I’m letting it grow into something a little more focused while still keeping the creative chaos that made it what it was. This episode is about storytelling, writing, worldbuilding, media, and the messy middle between inspiration and the act of making something real. I talk through the WIPs currently taking over my brain, including Resonant, Velarinai, Hollow-Born, an untitled demon-hunter project, and a strange little tearoom story that may or may not be plotting something. I also touch on why I’ve been away for so long, why writing has become more shareable for me, and what to expect from the podcast moving forward. Stories, process, worldbuilding, media, creative chaos, and me trying very hard not to start another project.
