It's the end of a journey for Chica & the Man. We've been working together for two years and talking about our separate creative projects on each other's podcasts. First, Sonia Iris Lozada from Poetic Resurrection and Overheard at Chica's Café was an invited guest on Alex Greenwood's Mysterious Goings On show to discuss her book Follow: Akashic Dreaming Through Time. Then, Alex came on The Poetic Resurrection Podcast to talk about his writing journey and John Pilate Mystery Series.

Now, it's time to say farewell. Sonia is devoting more attention to her acting and writing along with her pods, while Alex is creating another podcast focused on true crime in Kansas City as well as continuing to write. We'll remember our meaningful conversations over the past two years fondly as we take the next steps in our respective careers. Goodbye, friends! Best wishes.

Here's this month's update for Chica & the Man while we're on hiatus. I'd like to direct you towards our February 2023 episode about Writing and encourage you to give it a listen. In that episode, we discuss various aspects of writing. We address AI, which is one of the Writer's Guild Strike negotiations topics.

I'm an actor with SAG-AFTRA and we are currently on strike, along with the Writers Guild. So, in this

Episode 15: Goals and Many Other Things: This episode Alex and I discuss goals because we refuse to talk about New Year's resolutions. We know most people don't stick to them including ourselves. We thought we would title them goals, just to see how long we would stick to it. We didn't.

016 Chica and the Man Writing

This month on the Chica and the Man podcast we are discussing our writing careers. They talk about the entertainment industry and their writing potentials with it. Alex entered a writing contest at Coverfly with his short story Obsidian and is on the red list, which is the top 27%. He’ll know if he’s advanced to the next level within the following month. Read more about it here.

Sonia is currently writing two sci-fi short stories and will look for representation and a publisher once those are completed.

Please leave us a voice message. We're developing a Q&A section to our podcast and would love to hear from you.

As usual, there’s laughter, joy and amusement with these two. Check out their books on Amazon.

This month Alex and I discuss—well everything. Our intent was to discuss goals, but if you’ve listened to any of our episodes, we go off on tangents. We initially were going to review the goals we set in December, but we discussed what is listed below because we’re all over the place. The links are listed below after the episode notes.

1. Unfortunately, this month my mother passed and we briefly discuss what happened. Alex was so kind, endearing, and supportive. You can hear a dedication episode at Poetic Resurrection podcast.

2. We discuss short stories and films that were made from them, i.e., Arrival & The Martian. Alex is also a quarter-finalist in the Screencraft Cinematic Short Story Writing Competition. He’ll find out in February if he makes it to the semi-finalist.

3. We discuss a story I’m writing about the Amazon and the Mayan exhibit.

4. Sonia’s Overheard at Chica’s Café’s guest this month is Denise Sanchez of Bosch Legacy. BTW, Bosch Legacy is one of Alex’s favorite shows.

5. Mysterious Goings on and PR After Hours are keeping Alex busy and they are progressing.

6. We mention celebrities (Al Pacino & Sly Stallone) we’ve met and shows we’re watching.
