ISBW Metacast

Sup? I record from my car in the rain as the dog is getting rehab. (Knees, not addiction).

What’s up in 2023? Let’s talk about it.

I figured the numbers from 2023: Estimated 34,444 downloads per month. Down about 10k/mo from 2021, which was down about 10k/mo from 2020.

Here’s the link to the Be a Bestseller 4.0 course. The videos are free for 48 hours after release, but you can get permanent access for $37. (I am taking this course now so I can’t verify the awesomeness. This is not an endorsement and this is not an affiliate link.)

Twitch schedule January (Eastern time):

  • Tues 3:00pm: I Should Be Writing Barcon (livestream is free, but this recording is exclusive to Patreon and Substack)
  • Wed 3:00pm: TBD
  • Thur 3:00pm: I Should Be Writing (for later release in the feed)

Amazing Stories Kickstarter

I’m so honored to be invited to participate in the next Amazing Stories issue! They’re still trying to fund the issue, so follow the link below and see if you can help out!

From the Kickstarter:

Amazing Stories Special Edition: Sol System

Wouldn’t you like to know what the next fifty, hundred, thousand, or more years will bring to humanity and the place we live, our solar system?

We sure would. That’s why we’ve asked some of the best names in the field to tell us what they think about the future of our planet and the solar system.

I’m totally humbled to be invited to write alongside Cat Rambo, David Gerrold, Frank Wu, Peter Watts, Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki, and all the other people on that list. But we need the issue to be funded!

So support at the Kickstarter and see if we can make this thing happen. I will have to be on my game to write a story next to the folks listed above and I’m ready for the challenge.

2022 Award Eligibility Post + Goodreads Choice Awards

Station Eternity is nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award for Science Fiction! If you’re a Goodreads user, please consider voting! My publisher is also giving away a copy of the book on Goodreads.

Since Nebula Award nominations are open, I am making my award eligibility post. It always feels awkward, but if you don’t know what I’ve done, then let this guide you.

  • Novel: Station Eternity: Agatha Christie meets Babylon 5. Starred review from Library Journal, and Goodreads Choice Award nomination for best science fiction.
  • Novella: “The Ophelia Network”: Blues Clues meets 1984 as a resistance effort uses children’s television to send secret codes. Audible-only.
  • Podcast: I Should Be Writing: helping fledgling writers and interviewing authors since 2005, this podcast focuses on craft, emotional hangups, and speculative fiction.
  • Podcast: Ditch Diggers: With a group of rotating co-hosts, I discuss the business of writing, from handling social media to knowing when to leave an agent. Winner of the 2018 Hugo for Best Fancast.
