Listen to hear about interviews with authors I’ve recorded for future episodes, my (unresolved when recorded; resolved by the time you read this) issues with my podcast media files host, and take in my advice (based on recent experiences) on how to maintain perspective when it comes to all the things that might trouble you in your creative writing life.

Also! Tons of listener feedback!

Links and Topics Mentioned in This Episode

• As my cold maintains less and less of a hold over me in the past week, I’ve had to prioritize my day job as a creative services provider helping authors, podcasters and other creators.
• While I didn’t get anything new done on my free fiction serial Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights: “How It All Got Started,” you can still get in on what’s already done and read over a year and a half’s worth of fiction for free!
• Similarly, sick-brain kept me from work on my next novel, Shadow of the Outsider, but you can still read the first two works in the Shaper’s World storyworld, the novel Light of the Outsider and the follow-up novelette “The Perfumed Air at Kwaanantag Bay.” Get ’em!
• As of this recording, I had the pleasure of interviewing authors P. A. Cornell, Joyce Reynolds-Ward, and Monica Cross for future episodes of Sonitotum. These were great conversations I can’t wait to share with you… meanwhile, check out their works via the links on their names!
