S8 Ep13

Streamed live, August 15, 2022.

Matt returns. This wasn’t supposed to be a “buck up little camper” pep talk for Mur, but it turned out to be. But mostly, we talk about the importance of different things to focus on as a freelancer.

Ditch Diggers #003: A Very Special Episode with Booze (and Kameron Hurley and Chuck Wendig)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download ()

Subscribe: Email | TuneIn | RSS

There were guest authors, and there was booze. Kameron got silly and Mur lost the hosting thread along the way. But boy howdy did we dig some ditches and talk about down parts of our career and up sides.

And many are asking for an RSS feed for the show. We aren’t on iTunes yet, but this will work for now.

ISBW: Ditch Diggers #2 – Making money is BAD

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:12:06 — 66.1MB)

Subscribe: Email | TuneIn | RSS

Matt takes the helm with the debate over writers attacking other writers about how they make money. In short, if you don’t support a Kickstarter, don’t fucking support it. Authors who have used kickstarter the way Stacey Jay has: Tim Pratt, Chuck Wendig, and me. And I’m pretty sure none of us got attacked for it.

Also I’m planning on doing it again. Should I prepare for legendary harassment from the “YA community?”

Anyway. Explicit. Just like everything Matt is in.

ISBW #339 – Ditch Diggers Sneak Peek!

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:11:28 — 63.4MB)

Subscribe: Email | TuneIn | RSS

I talk jealousy and show a peek at the new show I’m doing next year, Ditch Diggers. It’s still about writing, but it’s brutally honest, not clean, and with co-host Matt Wallace.

I figured, today being my 10th year anniversary of podcasting, I should unveil something big.

If you like it, subscribe! If you don’t like it, don’t worry, Matt and I won’t force you to listen. This will be the first and last Ditch Diggers in the feed.
