Ditch Diggers #37: Listener Request and HUGO HUGO HUGO

1 hour 8 minutes

Mur and Matt come to you live from the mud room of Morgan Freeman's trophy solarium (because they haven't earned the right to go inside yet).
Ditch Diggers has been nominated for a Hugo Award! You did it! Mur and Matt will go up against the likes of The Coode Street Podcast and Tea & Jeopardy in Helsinki for Best Fancast (even though we're all professionals. Because there's only one podcast category)! Thank you to all Ditch Diggers listeners who supported the show and don't forget to vote for Mur and Matt for the Hugo itself!
It's listener's choice! Mur and Matt select questions from their listeners to address in detail as the topic of the show.
First up, for those who write many kinds of things, which writing medium/format to focus on when you being pursuing freelance writing as a serious job. Blogging? Books? Screenwriting? Should you focus on one thing or two things or all of them?
Secondly, Mur and Matt talk about writing prep, everything from outlining to creating playlists. What's necessary for the task ahead and how much is too much?
Regular Twitter and email Q&A.
