When I launched the Fabulist program, I promised live chats, and have been trying to figure out the best way to make it happen, and then Google+ was launched! it’s perfect, there’s video and room for ten people. I know there are more than 10 of you, but I figure since you’re around the world, [...]
Can you like self-pub and traditional pub at the same time, or are they always exclusive? Then I welcome Tracy Hickman back to the show and he tells of his upcoming projects and his courses he offers at Scribes’ Forge*!
The dogs were a bit feisty during this interview. Apologies.

I’m going to try to outline a novel.
I’m terrified.
I don’t even know where to start. I’m thinking I’ll either use Scrivener tools or the snowflake method. What bothers me about the snowflake method is you don’t really get to do a mind mapping snowflake kind of thing, you just write stuff.
Yeah. [...]

00:30 FEEDBACK: ideas from Dave Slusher re: tradeoffs in prioritizing writing time; writing stories based on story-telling songs (intellectual property issues, ideas are not copyrightable, consider The Things by Peter Watts); things to do at DragonCon; dealing with a partner who doesn’t support one’s [...]
I’ve been crazy busy this month with writing, and forgot to announce stuff I wrote a while ago!
My first pro sale to the anthology Cabinet of Curiosities came out this week!
After the death of Dr. Thackery T. Lambshead at his house in Wimpering-on-the-Brook, England, a remarkable discovery was unearthed: the remains of [...]
There’s one thing people don’t talk a lot about when it comes to storytelling: Layers.
I’m not talking the parfait/onion argument from Shrek. I mean that beginning writers often think that they have a Great Idea (â„¢) when all they have is a layer. When I look at the stories that have entranced me lately, [...]
I’ve been feeling a little fractured. Several years ago I thought it was a good idea to keep my work at Murverse separate from I Should Be Writing. This is just my writing show, while the Murverse encompassed all my work and my personal blog. But in the years that followed, I think I have [...]
I go over what I learned in my Kickstarter campaign, and interview Daniel H. Wilson, author of Robopocalypse.
