ISBW Special #17 - Cory Doctorow, Baby!
Yes, I finally scored the highest honor in podcasting, the Cory Doctorow interview! As Cory would say, “W00T!”
The podcast for wanna-be fiction writers by a writer who’s still learning. Writer Mur Lafferty discusses rejection, cover letters and getting the oomph to keep going.

Very cool interview. It was great to hear about Viable Paradise from the instructor’s perspective. And Cory Doctorow’s writing habits shame us all!

Am I the only one that promounces his name ‘DR. OW!’?
Great interview Mur! Well worth the wait. You never realize how much free time you have until you hear from someone who doesn’t.

Another great interview! Whew, is that guy busy. I really enjoy his podcast though, so it was great to hear him on yours. He mentioned some insightful things, especially near the end about it all being “in your head”… many thanks to you and Doctorow!

This was the best interview yet. Tons of information. I was very impressed to hear Cory just writes a couple of pages a day and that’s enough to get a book out at the end of the year. That’s something that makes sense if you sit down and add it up, but it doesn’t *feel* like it works. And his comments about learning how to think what you want to think were intriguing.

Can you create a link to Instructor Peter’s talk (audio or text) on publishing Cory referred to? Publishing is at the heart of the copyright controversy. The more of the history we know the better.That would be awesome. Let us all know!

kareema, sorry, there is no link. This was a talk Patrick did at the workshop that wasn’t recorded, and some of the instructors said they didn’t want their lectures discussed in public forums.
