Mur, I do enjoy reading your BLOG entries. It is nice to read about what is going on in your life without all the rants and complaints so many BLOGs seem to have. Even when you talk about how busy you have been, it is just a fact, not a complaint or excuse. We all know “life happens”, and it is nice to hear that your “life happens” moments lately have been do to success with PFK and your on-going writing and podcasting efforts. I even enjoy hearing about the “pink tornado” on occasion as I have a couple of grand daughters now that I have a tough time keeping up with. Keep up the good work!

Well, I did read your entry almost immediately after I received the notice of the post. It was a welcome change from the depressing, worrisome, and frustrating events unfolding in the financial markets. Having previously said I was not going to worry about becoming a published writer, I may now have to rethink that whole thing.

And thanks for all the links . . . even if there is little time in a day as it is.

I agree on three points: metatropolis looks amazing, writers shouldn’t punish their readers, and you don’t get published instantaneously. I’ve been writing seriously for five years, and I only recently have a completed draft that I even consider sending out after polishing.

I like reading the blogs. I burned out all of your backlogs of podcasts to listen to in the car, I need to do that again. I’ve fallen behind.

Thanks Dustin! I did notice ISBW was on top, but I didn’t want to brag too much about the list.

Thanks for the mention, Mur. I love what you and the ISBW team do, and am proud to recommend your show to my readers. Notice you didn’t just make the list, which was a given, but you’re at the top. They’re in no particular order, but when it came time to make a list of podcasts for writers, yours was the first one I thought of.

Now that’s funny about Weber. I would recommend the first 3 Honor books to anyone. After that it’s a matter of personal taste.
Outstanding is the blogging you shall.
