Ben: 30’s, confident, capable, use to getting his way, will be learning empathy over the course of the book so at first he won’t seem to understand the basic workings of humanity.

(bemused…curious…only very slightly smug for second sentence)
Line 1: I always wondered what went on in your head Reagan. Interesting that some areas are boxed specifically with my name on it.

(non-sympathetic…almost resigned…non-compromising)
Line 2: He’ll have to be sacrificed. It’s not an option to negotiate a trade.

(speaking softly as if trying not to be heard from someone near asleep…slightly surprised…almost tender)
Line 3: She’s truly amazing. Despite the reasons she has to give up on people, she still fights for them. Its…endearing.

SO…..last night I did two amazing interviews back to back cause I’m insane like that. The first was with PG Holyfield, followed up with Mur Lafferty and then I got them to both get on the line for a couple mins of spontaneous chat. I had a great time and both of them were increadibly nice as well as seriously helpful. Right now I’ve managed to slate so many interviews that my plan is to get the interviews in the can and work on them one at a time. This way the people I’ve asked for interviews don’t think I’ve forgotten them. I don’t want to flood the feed with just interviews so I may space them out…but that just means I’ll need to get off my butt and either write (which I plan to do) or discuss something interesting in between.

I’ve changed the sidebar a bit. I took down the polls because not many people were taking them. I think I’ll repost them in blog posts and give them a category for anyone who comes to the site. You’re comments, questions, and suggestions are really important to me and very valuable so please feel free to give your opinion if you find the time. Speaking of polls, I would love to know how many people read the blog as well as listen to the podcast. I’m trying to decide if I should make seperate feeds for both or just keep it in one feed so that info would be helpful. Feel free to just leave a quick comment here if you’d like to answer.

Also changed on the sidebar is the “recent comments” section. This will help you see if there are threads going on to any of the posts you might like to voice an opinion on. I also added a donation button to the side. I do not expect donations. But I will welcome any help keeping the site/podcast running.

In voice acting news, I sent in an audition and recieved an email asking me to audition for another character as well, which was way cool. And lastly, I just found out last night that I will speaking at 11am at PodcampNYC 2.0 on “Podcasting for Authors”. So um…wish me luck! I’ll be taking my ipod and mic and recording it so you’ll all get to hear how it goes.
