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…

HAH! CCC Has Shipped
I’m delighted to announce that my copy of Create A Character Clinic has shipped. One step closer to reality — I could never get a copy all the way through production before.
