[Transcript] Ditch Diggers #52: Cleaning Out Old Business

Ditch Diggers #52

January 18, 2018

Theme Song: [00:00:05] Ditch Diggers appear, ain’t no wannabes here. With some not so nice advice for your writing career. To be clear, no punches will be pulled, but the punch may be spiked, how they like before they get on the mic. To my left we got the mighty Mur Lafferty, and if I piss her off, believe me, she’ll come after me. And her co-host Matt F’n Wallace on the right, yeah she may be half his height, but she could take him in a fight. So settle in folks, buckle in, and boot up. Time to meddle in a way to make you write or shut up. It’s hard work, but the perk is that it’s fun and exciting. Facebook will still be there when you’re done writing. Ditch Diggers!
Mur: [00:00:46] Coming to you live from Morgan Freeman’s snow bungalow. It is the Ditch Diggers with Mur Lafferty and Matt Wallace. Happy New Year!
Matt: [00:00:55] Happy New Year, Mur. It’s our first episode of 2018. These are exciting times. (more…)

[Transcript] ISBW #390: Timelines

January 25, 2018

Mur: [00:00:00] Hi there, welcome to I Should Be Writing: the podcast for wanna-be fiction writers. I’m your host Mur Lafferty, and I already recorded this today, but it was in the car. I like recording in the car, like thinking in the car, like talking in the car, and then I get home and I look at the audio, and I’m like, “I don’t want to give this to you, because the audio is crap because you can hear all the car stuff in the background.” Maybe if I got a better mic, I don’t know. But so, I’m re-doing this. Of course, now the dogs are in the background. I can’t win.

[00:01:08] But, what I’ve been up to is we got a … went to ConFusion last weekend. Had a really great time with other writers and some editors and some agents, and there were fun panels. I did a reading of something I had just written, which is kind of scary, but awesome. It went over well, anyway. And now I’m home working on a variety of big deadlines and small. I’m working on my new novel, and that’s going pretty well. But I’ve got other more important deadlines, which of course is why it’s easy for me to work on the novel, because my brain is a jerk.

[Transcript] ISBW #389: Get Bored

I’ve worked getting a transcription service going for my podcasts, and will be transcribing the episodes from 2018. Having an accessible podcast is important to me. It’s not cheap however, so I’ll be adding a few tiers to the Patreon to help pay for it.

It will be up for only Patreon supporters for a week, then it will go up here for everyone.

NOTE: I am posting the text here. If you would rather I post the transcription PDF as a link, then let me know. I’m new at this.

Original blog post is here.>

Mur : [00:00:00] Hi there. Welcome to I Should Be Writing: the podcast for wanna-be fiction writers. I’m your host, Mur Lafferty. Happy New Year! I know it’s middle of January, but hey, what better time to talk about New Year’s resolutions, because everybody else has stopped talking about New Year’s resolutions because they’re already forgotten two weeks in. I could be exaggerating. Maybe some of you were holding on to them, maybe some are not. But revisit them. What did you think you were going to change this year? I made one resolution this year, and I’ve been ok at keeping up with it. In short, my resolution is get bored. I know that sounds kind of silly, but the deal is when you’re bored your mind wanders. When your mind wanders, you get good creative ideas. If you’re bored and you pick up your phone or tablet and play Candy Crush, you’re not getting good ideas, you’re playing Candy Crush.
