Welcome to Episode 14: Interview with Chris Lester of Metamor City, Part 1. He takes some time to talk to me about not only his own story and how he writes but gives us a little bit of info on podcasting your fiction too.

Well it looks like I have my job cut out for me. I never do anything the easy way. LOL

I mentioned I had a few people beta read for me. One of my readers (and thank you to all of you) mentioned that it seemed like what I wrote for Chapter 1 should really be Chapter 3 and that parts of it were probably Chapter 2.Â From their comments, they made alot of sense and I really do need to start out the story showing more of her character as a base line for life is normally like for her. I can even make it work so that Chapter 2 is plausible and Chapter 3 is even more believable because of the events of 1 and 2. Confused yet? LOL

So…that’s what my next TO DO is. Figure out how to start Chapter 1 in a way that gets you all right into the action. Come up with a killer hook line for the first sentence and get you all deeply involved in wanting to see what comes next from the action in Chapter 1.

I’ll be heading to hide my head under the covers for a while. *just teasing*

P.S. My net connection went down last night so Episode 14 and 15 – Part 1 and 2 of my Interview with Chris Lester of Metamor City will be up in a few hours. Right now there’s Tuscani pasta from Pizza Hut calling my name.

Quick Update

Hey gang. I just wanted to do a quick update to let you know my status.

I just finished helping edit a podcast for PIP (bdsm podcast) and am finishing up a critique for Chris Lester. Over the weekend I wrote 925 words on Chapter 1 of “Guardians”. My cover is almost ready and when I have Chapter 1 done and critiqued I’ll put up a page with some world info and media goodies for you to download and distribute if you’d like to spread the word about my podcast novel!

I’m finishing up edits for the next TC episode: An Interview with Chris Lester of Metamor City.Â I have a few “interview casts”Â in the can and as soon as I’m done being sick and get my voice back I have a few “writing casts” to record as well.

I have a “poll” question but I think I’ll simply let you reply in the comments section. Are you interested in my word count and if you are would you prefer a quick block of my words written as I go, a widget showing WIP status, or some other method I don’t know about. Let me know in my comments.

P.S. if youÂ have written me email, I intend to reply to you I’ve just been swamped!
P.P.S for more fun then you should be having since you SHOULD be writing…check out my new kitty in the side bar. Hover over her…she’s seriously fun to play with!

I’m on a roll!
