Hello, everyone! Today we have the next installment of the Balticon 46 wrap up. This is a Special Episode of my podcast The Shrinking Man Project, recorded Saturday morning during Balticon 46. This episode was originally a chance for me to do a cross-over with Nathan Lowell’s Talking on my Morning Walk podcast, also known as #tommw. In fact, if you listen to Nathan’s podcast, you’ve already heard this audio.
I hope this will help warm your hearts in the cold winter months, and you’ll be able to pick out some of the projects that we talk about.
Time for some walking and talking! Enjoy!

After being on the fence about it for many months, this past week I finally broke down and created a profile on ACX. What is ACX, you say? And well you might ask. ACX is the Audiobook Creation Exchange. Audible.com created ACX to promote the creation of digital spoken word content. This makes a lot of sense because digital spoken word content is what Audible sells. They need to get that content from somewhere, and ACX is part of making that happen. ACX creates a marketplace where rights holders, aka publishers, authors, and other empowered agents, can find narrators, studios, and producers looking for work. Here’s how it works… [click to continue…]

I am back with another piece of the Balticon 46 Wrap-up. We recorded this piece of podcasting goodness at 11 PM on Friday night and it is the Late Night New Media Meet and Greet. In this episode, moderator Grig (Punkie) Larson talks with Trish Wilson (who writes as Elizabeth A. Black), Paul Elard Cooley, and myself about what we’re doing in the world of new media. And, yes, with a late night show, this episode isn’t work safe!

I’ve gotten very far behind in a lot of projects, among them, this recap from Balticon 46. But what better way to kick off the new year than to move forward with the Wrap-up? So, here is Part 3, a Panel from Friday Night entitled A Touch of Slash – Rule 34 and the Podiosphere. This is from the New Media Track on Friday night at 10 PM. The panel was moderated by Nobilis Reed, and featured Jhada R. Addams, Veronica Giguere, and myself. This panel DOES contain explicit materiel, so don’t listen to it around impressionable ears. While the content is amusing, it is Not Safe For Work.

Why am I celebrating failure? Well, I am going to explain that, but first, I think I’d better catch you up.
When last we spoke, it was the 20th, and I’d hit 32,067 words after three straight days of over 2500 words a day. On the 21st, we set out to visit my father for Thanksgiving, my wife driving, and me in the passenger seat writing away. I managed to get in 1191 words on the trip. I probably would have done better, but the trip wasn’t very long. Then, once we arrived, family tended to get into the way of much writing. I tried to do some writing on Thanksgiving day, but only got in another 523 words what with the feasting and games of dominos. On Friday, we headed back home, but my wife was too tired and I had to do the driving. After we got home and unloaded, I was too tired to write, so Friday was a total goose egg. Saturday, the 24th, I plugged in to make up some of the backlog, and wrote 3009 words. A very promising day and it looked like I was going to be able to catch up nicely. Sunday didn’t go so well, but I did get in 1710 words, holding my own, and bringing my word count up to 38500 words. Monday, it was back to work, and a tough day at work it was. I came home and wrote another 830 words, but soon tuckered out. And at this point, I realized that I just wasn’t going to make it. I had too few days left and too much of a deficit to make up. So I tapped out at 39,330 words.
I had intended to put in some more writing and push over at least 40,000 words, but I just didn’t make the time. Also, I’d written myself up against a wall and I didn’t know where else to take the story. I finally figured out where to take the story on the 30th, just after I’d gotten to work. Unfortunately, after work, I went to take a nap and ended up sleeping through until December.
So what happened with Casey in these 7000 words?
