Author Notes 2 – Raw and Unedited

kimiko — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 14:49:15 +0000

Ok you all asked for it (well some of you did). Here’s Author’s Notes #2. Please remember this is raw and unedited. There is no fixing of bg noise, no clipping of my many mistakes where I shamefully forget KL Grady’s name and Christiana Ellis’s book name. No taking out of “ums” and pauses where I hussle to find those names I’ve forgotten. You are welcome to leave comments here or the voice line to tell me you rather I edit those things.

Sadly and also because it’s unedited…for the moment I don’t have many show note links. If I go back and re-listen I will edit. So here are the links I remember.

KL Grady – FiveScribes
Jackie Kessler – Cat and Muse
Scott Sigler
Christiana Ellis – Nina Kimberly the Merciless
Tee Morris
Philippa Ballantine
JC Hutchins – Personal Effects: Dark Art

Ep 8: Interview with Jackie Kessler

kimiko — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 05:39:41 +0000

Kimi gets the author of Hell’s Belles, Jackie Kessler to sit down and spill some of her secrets.

Update and useful links

Hi! Last night was really productive. I organized all of my podcasts. Completed 2 of them to make them sound a little better. Put details on all of them and figured out what was left to do. I have Ep 6 and Ep 7 to tighten up and then they’ll all be good to go. I’m kinda passing time until Jackie says Ep 8 is good to go and partly just trying to get it all in order so that I can put them up in one shot.

I set up an interview with Mur Lafferty and I have to send her the questions and arrange a date for the podcast interview.

I’ve also done a lot of re-thinking of my book. I think, sadly, a decent amount of the work already written may have to be “scrapped”/shelved but I think it’ll be a better book for what I’ve got planned. I wrote up a basic character summery of the major players minus one or two and I’ve been going over in my head in small pieces how I want the story to go. I’ll reveal more about it later.

Still working on the template design as well. Now here are is a link to a great article I found on writing at Lifehack.org. It’s about how to get your writing started.

We’re making progress and you can help!

Yay I’m so excited. I finished the Jackie Kessler interview today. It’s being shipped off to Jackie for review and hopefully she’s got enough time between writing, work, kids and hubby to listen to it so I can get it up for you.

In the mean time, I’ve got a friend who’s doing voohoo header magic and I’ll be updating the side bar. I’ll be re-posting all the episodes previous to Jackie’s including the 3 writer’s casts that were origionally done on Hipcast that you can not download anymore AND a previously (thought to be released but not) episode about my visit to DragonCon in 2007. (sorry that it’s um a tad late)

I’m going to be searching out my next victim, I mean author to interview and doing a cast on the evolution of my plot coming soon as well.

As far as where you can help….

1) Do you have a scene you’d like to have critted for a new Critter Comments section?
2) Are you good with audio and want to create a Tale Chasing Promo for me?
3) Do you have a topic you think would be interesting for me to do a cast on?
4) Do you have a podcast or a website you’d like to trade links on?

Write me or leave a comment! I wanna hear from ya!
