Mur — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:28:09 +0000

I’m back onto my schedule, interview with Jeff VanderMeer today, feedback later this week!

Mur — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:41:30 +0000

As I mentioned, I’m going back to school, and this is from the middle of my January residency. I’m tired and loopy and with other students.

Mur — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:59:52 +0000

I am hitting the road tomorrow for grad school. Have some feedback!

ISBW #230

Mur — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:40:43 +0000

Last year I wrote two scripts for Leviathan Chronicles, the epic audio drama from Christof Laputka, and those are finally available for purchase! You can get Season 1 for free, and if you enjoy it, the special editions are $2.99 each.

X-Post- SHEER WANTAGE: Writer’s Digest Best 101 Sites

Mur — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:41:49 +0000

Happy New Year! I’m back from Christmas in the disappointingly un-snowy Buffalo, NY. Getting my wordcount, uh, counted for 2011, looking at goals and stuff in 2012, planning a big blog post and end of the year show, and then…

I saw this on Twitter. Writer’s Digest 101 Best Web Sites for Writers is more »

Princess Scientist’s Advent Calendar #5

Mur — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 03:05:11 +0000

Merry Christmas! Enjoy your holiday and your family, and remember to forgive at Christmas, like our advent calendar has.

Princess Scientist’s Advent Calendar Days #4 and #5

Mur — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 22:40:29 +0000

There’s something lacking in this advent calendar. We miss our old one.

ISBW #229 – NK Jemisin Interview

Mur — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 13:00:44 +0000

From World Fantasy Con, I speak to NK Jemisin outside a coffee shop (pardon the ambient noises).

Princess Scientist’s Advent Calendar Day #3

Mur — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 05:17:31 +0000

The housesitter is all nestled all snug in our beds and we head north to Buffalo! And draw a Christmas Dragon!

Happy Hanukkah! Happy Yule! Christmas is around the corner!

Princess Scientist’s Advent Calendar Day #2

Mur — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:35:22 +0000

We realized something. Doing a daily podcast is actually easier than doing a every-couple-of-days podcast, especially during the holidays. Get some people in the house sick, have some major events happening, suddenly it’s 6 days before Christmas, the other advent peeps have 19 videos under their belt, and you’re struggling to get #2 up.

Princess Scientist’s Advent Calendar Day 1

Mur — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 20:19:16 +0000

It’s here! Meet our new advent calendar, and see Princess Scientist draw a Christmas Tree!

(I don’t think the other calendar minds we’re not using it this year.)

See you in a couple of days!

ISBW #228 – Feedback

Mur — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 13:00:27 +0000

Another feedback show, nearly caught up to present day emails!

ISBW #227 – Guilt / Ann VanderMeer

Mur — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 08:00:30 +0000

How do you deal with ignoring your poor neglected manuscript in favor of worldbuilding and research?

Then we talk to editor Ann VanderMeer!

Princess Scientist’s Book Club #9

Mur — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 08:00:09 +0000

We’re back! No podfading for us! Princess Scientist and her lab assistant Dad talk about our trip to Australia and the book Treasure Island. It won’t be a year till our next show, either, as we are getting ready for our Advent Calendar video!

ISBW #226 – Feedback

Mur — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:00:25 +0000

It’s feedback time again, and I finally catch up to current emails!

Advent Calendar Season is Almost Here

Mur — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:26:10 +0000

Long time readers may know that last year, the Pink Tornado and I attempted an Advent Calendar podcast in the spirit of Grant’s Advent Calendar. We nearly made it every day, but it was pretty stressful to keep up with – especially after Jim got pneumonia.

Naturally, this year we’re doing it again. more »

ISBW #225 – Imposter Syndrome / Tobias Buckell Interview

Mur — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 08:00:08 +0000

I admit it. I’ve been suffering from Imposter Syndrome. And after that, I talk to Tobias Buckell about Kickstarter, stats, and the future of publishing.

ISBW #224: Feedback

Mur — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 08:00:06 +0000

ISBW #223 – Self pub does not equal total control / John Berlyne Interview

Mur — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 08:00:03 +0000

As some authors dealing with Amazon are finding out, self pubbing your own work doesn’t allow you all the control we’ve been led to believe. In short, READ YOUR TERMS OF SERVICE at Lulu, Amazon, Smashwords, etc. If you don’t like the agreement, then don’t sign.

I was finally able to pin down the very more »

ISBW #222 – NaNoWriMo episode

Mur — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 11:55:46 +0000

The ISBW site is in considerable flux, and it doesn’t help that I’m in the process of leaving for World Fantasy Con. But you can get the latest show in the ISBW feed and right here!

I recorded this while driving yesterday, and it’s all about NaNoWriMo!
