Oh, The Podcast!

I need to do one. I want to do one. I have a dozen great questions, a couple of discussion points I want to hit, and I’ve opened Garageband half a dozen times in the past two weeks to start it.

The problem is that my 20-minute podcast takes me one full writing day (about six hours) to put together, and I haven’t had one full writing day to devote to the task. Between proposals and the Language Clinic and the month of headaches and constant exhaustion, I’m barely dragging from one end of the week to the other, and the hard and fast, unbreakable rule for a writer who lives on her writing is “The WRITING comes first.”

My goal at this point is to get one podcast done this month. Probably one next month. And then, as my energy starts coming back, to do two a month again.

Podcast is done and episode two is now up. Heard from Claire, and we’re negotiating her offer now. Had a fantastic opportunity open up for me, so I’m working my ass off on the proposal for that (more about it when I can say something.)

And my e-mail filter got its hands slapped and has been sent back into training mode; it’s been letting junk mail through and tossing real mail, and I suspect that I haven’t caught all the good stuff that it tossed. So as of today, a couple of years of spam filter happiness went out the door, and I’ll be having to wade through every piece of mail that hits the inbox for the next week or three, while the spam filter learns what it’s supposed to keep, and what it’s supposed to toss.

Damned computer.

Podcast Episode I: The One With the Fangs

New episode of Holly Lisle On Writing is up. The first real episode, actually. You can go to the website linked above, where you can get the links for the great music I’ve used as bumpers, and find out a bit more about the show. Or you can simply click the little player in the column to your left and listen to it here.

Or … you can subscribe, either from your iTunes player or from the show site.
