[ISvBW] Online Writing Workshops, how are they now?
I Should Be Writing is new again with classic podcasts from 2005! If you wonder what I Should Be Writing sounded like back in the old days, when podcasting was new and before I was published, look no farther! I’m releasing most of my old episodes with commentary, and maybe some new interviews with old friends. The shows will also be released with transcriptions for free, but Patreon and Substack supporters will get the episodes first, and annotated transcripts too!
I Should’ve Been Writing S1 Ep2
(from the transcript)
Mur Lafferty 08:43
…you read Neil Gaiman’s blog and you hear “Yes, I went up to the cabin for the week to finish Anansi Boys…’ and, well, that’s great for him, but he’s a best selling author with best selling comic books and just best selling all over the place. Everybody else you see on the shelves, they likely have day jobs, they likely have children, they find time to write, they make time to write because it’s one of their priorities. Have you ever picked up a book and thought, ‘wow, this is crap, I can write better than this?’ Well, maybe that’s true. But one thing that that writer has that you may not have, is persistence. You may have noticed in your life in other places than writing that the people who are not the most talented are the ones that succeed. And I’m starting to sound like a business self improvement tape right now.

I’m going to hang a lampshade on the elephant in the room and mix my metaphors and say that yeah, I need to get my audio problems fixed. The reasons they are bad are frankly uninteresting and I need to deal with it. The next episode should be better.
So! We pretend it’s August, 2005, and Mur is still messing about on Online Writer’s Workshops. Let’s talk about it.
* Music: Dana Countryman
* Sonar
