 ISBW #14 - Writer's Groups [17:05m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (48)

Sold my first story last night.

“Santa In My Pocket” will air on Escape Pod, the sci fi podcast magazine, next month.

Or should that be new podcasts by established writers? Whatever…

Both Cory Doctorow and James Patrick Kelly are publishing their original fiction.

I’ve started listening to Doctorow’s “When Sysadmins Rules the Earth” and it’s pretty gripping. I haven’t listened to any of Kelly’s yet, but considering he has a scifi Christmas story (which I eat up with a spoon) you know I’m going there first.

At last I am able to do a VoIP interview, this time with the successful podcast author Scott Sigler.

Congrast to the listeners who have good news! Please continue to email me with news, I’ll be happy to put it on the podcast.
Should we have writing exercises?
Scott Sigler’s home page (including Ancestor and Earthcore)
PodcasterCon is coming January 7.
And don’t forget the ISBW swag!

 ISBW #12 - Apprenticeships [14:20m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (52)

Seeing as how it’s national drunken writing night, I feel the need to participate in something national since I can’t do NaNoWriMo. (the fact that I can spell nanowrimo is clear sign that I am not drunk enough)

I cna’t tell you why I can’t do nanowrimo. Maybe I can tell you on Tuesday or Wednesday.

I dunno. Being drunk doesn’t make me want to write. I want to sit around. Giggle, perhaps. Play some WoW. but sit somwhere and think and lot and write? No. As prone to typos as I usually am, this is worse.

Did you know that they now think Poe died of rabies?

I’m back from the dead, thanks for all the well-wishes and the patience. I really appreciate it.
