Old I Should Be Writing episodes are new again with classic podcasts from 2005! If you wonder what I Should Be Writing sounded like back in the old days, when podcasting was new and before I was published, look no farther! I’m releasing most of my old episodes with commentary, and maybe some new interviews with old friends.
The shows will also be released with transcriptions for free, but Patreon and Substack supporters will get early, ad-free podcasts and annotated transcripts too!
I Should’ve Been Writing S1 Ep5
It’s September, 2005, and I have breaking news- rewriting was difficult then, and it still is. I’m at a point where I guess I have to just accept some things and move on. It will always be difficult.

My name is Mur Lafferty. And in 2005, I started a little podcast called I Should Be Writing. I hadn’t sold anything; I had done some work on RPGs. But I hadn’t sold a story at all. Nothing. I’d been doing agent hunts. I’ve been sending out short stories. And I was miserable.00:24
But I was podcasting. And I thought, are there any podcasts for writers? and there was there was one. And that was The Secrets by Michael A Stackpole. He was taking his advice, that he put in his newsletters and putting it out in audio, which was great. The downside being, he was giving advice to seasoned writers, career writers, aka not me. I mean, I could take the advice, but it wasn’t applicable yet. And I thought, let’s make a podcast for people who are just at my level. And I’ll try to pass on what I’ve learned….

I talk about good old Chuck Palahniuk and how he wrote Fight Club. If it’s good enough for the NYT Bestseller then it’s good enough for you!
Or something more motivational…He wasn’t a bestseller when he wrote Fight Club, you know.
