In this special "Book Notes" edition of the Jam Notes podcast, author BW Derge (Ben) and reader Nick Ring dive into the structural secrets and ambitious future of Ben’s new novel, Remember Me Nothing. This free preview explores the personal psyche behind the narrative and the intense work ethic driving Ben’s creative engine.
Highlights of this episode include:
- The "House" Scene as the Soul of the Book: Nick identifies the arrival at "The House" as the pivotal moment that "made the fucking book," transforming the story into something deeply resonant. Ben reveals an intimate creative secret: every bizarre character residing within that house is actually an embodied representation of a different part of his own personality.
- The 2,000 Words a Night Goal: Ben shares his high-octane writing ambitions, aiming to hit a 2,000-word nightly quota while simultaneously developing five different novels. Nick jokes that given Ben’s history of merging narratives, all five projects will likely end up as one single, massive volume.
- The "One Typo" Victory: Reflecting on the meticulous editing process of his previous work, Ben shares a rare moment of authorial pride. After re-reading and editing both Laenif, Book One and Book Two, he discovered he had managed to produce the two novels with only one single typo remaining in the text.
- Teasing Laenif 3: Ben offers an exclusive look at his next project, currently titled Conducting Intergalactic Travel Without Spaceships. He details the "theoretical action" of the new story, where characters move beyond physical vessels to travel through dimensions using only their minds.
