In this week’s episode I make a point of explaining how no matter what your view of the publishing industry is, you still have to do the work on your end. I’ve talked a lot about how there are no shortcuts. Apparently, I need to talk some more.
Oh, and I may rant some about things. Important things. Biggly things.
This week I talk about what I did during the hiatus of this podcast. I explain how even though a writer never stops working, sometimes you can still recharge, relax, and let the world wash away. While still working. You know. Because the work never ends.
Also, apologies for the lame blues harp at the end. My lips just refused to work. It happens. Deal.
It’s back, yo! More Writing In Suburbia for your masochistic writing aspirations. Summer break was fun, but time to get back to analyzing the always confusing career of professional writing!
In this episode I talk about my new three book deal with Bell Bridge Books! Three book deal! Woo hoo! I compare and contrast what it’s like working with my current publishers, especially Severed Press, with my expectations of working with Bell Bridge Books. I also explain my reasoning behind signing with a new publisher instead of only staying with Severed.
Yep, I was at ConCarolinas all weekend. Great time. Got to bring the Fam, hang with some friends, meet new authors, make new friends, and make new fans. Want to know what panels I was on? Want to know what we talked about in those panels? Want some great advice on all kinds of subjects? Then have a listen, folks!
And, this will be quite the surprise, I am too tired to rant this week! This is a rant-free episode!
Enjoy!
PS- Yes, I know I’ve used this title before. That’s how tired I am. But this time the title has an exclamation point! THAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT!
Yeah, I know, it’s been a couple of weeks. Want to know why? Well, I guess you’ll have to listen to the podcast, won’t ya? This week I talk about how life and writing are not separate (which is kind of the point of this podcast) and how writing sometimes has to take a backseat because, well, life.
