The Playlist "My Amazon Affiliate Links - Products for writing from home" is only available as a Playlist on my YouTube channel: https://tinyurl.com/ycv2j9kj (As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases)

Two tracks, one creative mission: we’re drawing a clean line between story craft and gear talk so you get exactly what you came for. After experimenting with mixed episodes, we’re shifting to a clear structure that respects your time, your focus, and the way you like to learn.

Fractured Ink: Writing in Life’s Chaos now zeroes in on writing craft you can use today—fiction techniques, memoir insights, and lessons learned from the messy middle of real projects. We record in Zoom to deliver both audio and video, but every segment is designed to work if you’re listening on a run or watching at your desk. Expect practical strategies for scenes that move, point of view that clicks, revision methods that calm the chaos, and candid reflections from our own pages and from writers we admire.

Our affiliate reviews move to a dedicated, video-only YouTube playlist because tools deserve visuals. When we compare microphones, lighting, or keyboards, you’ll see the setup, hear real tests, and get frank takes on what’s worth buying. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases, and we’ll keep opinions clear and grounded in daily writing use. That separation means you can binge deep craft without stopping for unboxings—or jump straight to gear when you’re upgrading your workspace.

You’ll find Fractured Ink as an audio podcast distributed via Buzzsprout across major platforms and as a video version on YouTube. The product review series lives separately on YouTube, organized for easy browsing. We’ll still mention relevant tools on the craft feed when they support a technique, and we’ll keep links transparent and useful. Subscribe, share with a writer friend, and tell us what you want next—what craft problem should we tackle, or what tool should we test?

Hello, I hope that you're all doing well. Uh so uh this episode uh is about uh future plans for uh the playlist that I have on YouTube. So at the moment I

Setting The Stage;

SPEAKER_00 0:37

have three. One is Fractured Ink Writing in Life's Chaos Audio only, Fractured Inc Writing in Life's Chaos Video, and uh podcast

Current Playlists Explained;

SPEAKER_00 0:54

on my uh affiliate links and the products that I recommend. So I have been uh posting uh my episodes to Fractured Inc and uh the playlist on my affiliate links simultaneously, as a lot of you will have have observed. I think it's important to know how a writer works and with what devices uh they write their novels. So I think I've

Why Separate The Feeds;

SPEAKER_00 1:34

achieved that by now, and I would like to begin a new period where uh the podcast Fractured Ink Writing in Life's Chaos is distinct from the podcast on the affiliate links uh on the products for writers. So the way I will do this is uh I will use Zoom to do the episodes of fractured ink, writing in life's chaos, and that gives me uh an audio

Tools: Zoom And Buzzsprout;

SPEAKER_00 2:15

file, and it gives me a video file uh that I can then post to those playlists. Uh um so Buzz Sprout is what I use for the audio podcast, and so uh it's available uh across lots of platforms, including YouTube. And Zoom is what I'm using for posting the video version uh only on YouTube. So I will attempt to make the episodes of Fractured Ink Writing in Life's Chaos understandable uh whether you're watching whether you're listening to the audio version or watching the video version.

Audio-First Vs Visual Reviews;

SPEAKER_00 3:04

On the other hand, uh the playlist uh on the affiliate links uh that I'm that I also am doing, that will rely on the visual because I want to talk about products that I own and use from Amazon or that I uh trust from Amazon, and I often want to show pictures. And I think it was good that for a while I posted these uh episodes about the fit the affiliate links to uh Fractured Inc because it gives you some idea of uh the devices uh that I use uh to write my novels and also uh the writing things that I have uh when I'm writing just for pleasure. But now I would like the emphasis to be different. So uh I would like the fractured ink writing in life's chaos to be more about uh my fiction writing, other people's fiction writing, and memoir writing. I will still post affiliate links if uh they

New Focus For Fractured Ink;

SPEAKER_00 4:19

are relevant. And uh as an Amazon associate, of course, I earn from qualifying purchases. The affiliate link playlist, so that will now be a separate uh podcast, separate episodes that uh video only, and I'm only posting to YouTube, and that will be information about

Standalone Affiliate Video Podcast;

SPEAKER_00 4:46

the affiliate links uh that I have posted on my website and uh elsewhere uh in my blogs and across social media, uh, giving my frank opinion uh about the products that I have that I have connected you with. And so uh I think it's a good time to split up the two podcasts and uh we'll see how it goes. And that was what I wanted to say to you today that uh fractured ink, writing in life's chaos, is available as an audio and a video podcast, and I will give the details uh of uh where it can be

Where To Find Each Show;

SPEAKER_00 5:33

found on on Buzz Sprout. The video version uh is only available on YouTube. Separately to that now. We'll have a a different uh uh podcast. I will continue with the affiliate link podcast, but it will be independent of the fractured ink, and it will be a different uh different video. Okay, so that's what I wanted to say to you today, and uh please uh subscribe um to my podcasts and my channel and like my videos if you like them, and uh please

Subscribe And Share

SPEAKER_00 6:17

leave comments, it's very important. So I'll see you soon, both on Fractured Inc and on uh the podcast about affiliate links. Bye-bye for now.
