What’s funny is right after I recorded this, I read that the Hydra situation has been mostly dealt with by diligent work by Victoria Strauss and John Scalzi. But still, it’s important to discuss.

Today will be the 100th day writing in a row, thanks to the Magic Spreadsheet. I have thoughts on it, cause that’s how I roll.
It landed at Orbit’s site today, so I can make my own reveal! Book 2 in The Shambling Guides is The Ghost Train to New Orleans and the illustration, done again by the awesome Jamie McKelvie, is gorgeous!

So the exciting thing is, I’m doing my first studio book narration! However, I’m doing it in a very short amount of time, so I’m in Raleigh for most of the day, and rushing around trying to do everything else in the time I am not in front of the mic. And recording for five hours straight is a bit different than recording a chapter a week. My voice is raw and I’m pounding the lemon and honey as if it were gin. Well. Even moreso.
So Rapid Fire and Fabulist Ramblings are on hold until I can get a little bit of time to record and upload.

In personal news, I have new glasses and new hairstyle. I’m like a whole new Mur, only without a voice.

I’ve seen the near-final cover for Book 2 of The Shambling Guides, and OMG it’s gorgeous. I can’t wait to show you all! The minute I’m allowed to, I’ll be uploading the hell out of that thing.

Lastly, it’s now announced that I’ll be joining the Torment: Tides of Numenera team! The Kickstarter is already at nearly $2,000,000 on Day 2 of the campaign — O_o — and I’m thrilled to be on the team! Check it out, and pledge if it looks cool to you!

Just like horse trainers must shovel poop, so must writers deal with rejections. Get a goal. Make it hurt less. Get tough!

So I’m very embarrassed, as one commenter mentioned, I kind of skipped three episodes. So in an effort to make numbers completely meaningless (actually to not confuse people in the archives) here is episode 275.
We talk about the Agent HUnt and great sites like Agent Query, Writer’s Market, and Absolute Write.
