ISBW #2
Our hero encounters conflict as she realizes the hypocritical demons within herself, and vows to not let her listeners down again.

(this is an awesome tool, click on it to do your own wordcount)
[EDIT - OK, blogger can't make this seamless, no matter how I tweak the code. Perhaps if you try it for yourself on your web page or live journal (where I know it looks good) it will look nicer... ah well...]
Enjoy the show. You should be writing.
Thanks so much to Dana Countryman for the kind permission to use his song, Lovesick Martian Boy, as ISBW’s theme music.

I’ve been using that wordcount tool for a few projects now. Considering how that count bar has a similar clone in the NaNoWriMo forums, it’s not surprising.
I can’t stress enough how motivational it is everytime that bar grows!

Good show! I am thinking about signing up for that Workshop, though it will be interesting to see how large the “Fiction” section is as opposed to the genre ones. It is worth a one month fee to find out.
I am not sure if this is the place to comment, but I think your “Wingin It” essay was brilliant. As a writer and role player I agree totally. I have spent far too many hours writing long histories about characters no one cares about and handing them to a DM that promised he would read it the first minute he got a chance.
But come on! Who doesn’t want to hear about a wizard who got his hand cut off for a misused fireball who had to make a deal with an evil got to get a demonic hand then sacrificed that same hand to dry to get back his mortal soul…

John, I actually am not sure if they have a general fiction thing now, you might want to check it out. Sorry to have misled you, but they have a link but it doesn’t seem to go anywhere.
http://www.writersonlineworkshops.com/ is the link to Writer’s Digest workshops, which are non-specific genre-wise.
And thanks for the comment about Wingin it.
