Since I tend to spend way too much time reading other writer's blogs, I thought I would deliver some of the better ones I find. Here are this weeks articles delivered by the Weekly Express:
How I Make It Work - Myke Cole talks about downsizing his life in order to make writing a full time endeavor. A must read for all of us who only dream of making this leap of faith. Also, be sure to check out the release of his new book Shadow Ops: Control Point
How to Return to Writing After a Long Break - Nathan Bransford talks about exactly that. There is also a great article on Game of Thrones and being unsentimental about your characters. "Don't get attached. Anyone may die at any moment."
So, I have gradually made the move from listening to music while running every morning, to listening to podcasts. While I do not listen solely to writing podcasts and still do occasionally need some music to get pumped up for a run - I decided to list my top 10 writing podcasts I listen to right now. In no particular order:
For those of you with an iPod, iPhone, iPad or iWhatever you can simply search for these under the podcast tab in iTunes and add them at your leisure. If you are on a different platform you should be able to download many of these in mp3 format and listen to them. I am not as familiar with other platforms, so you are on your own when it comes to moving them to your device.
If anyone has any I SHOULD be listening to, please share them!
