The Wayback Machine

I know I said that we would be firing up the Wayback Machine again today, but we seem to be encountering some problems. We’ll keep working at it here at Swimming Cat Studios and see if we can get it working for this Friday’s scheduled jaunt into the past. Anyone happen to have a spare flux capacitor?

The Wayback Machine is powered up again, and this time we’re traveling back to February 11th, 2011. Once again, we’ve got an episode of Galley Table. This week’s episode features guests Willie Freeman and the lovely Veronica Giguerre. In this episode we are talking about voice acting, playing roles, roleplaying games, and discussing the various offerings coming up from Incubator Press, Willie’s company.

Strap in, folks! This time the Wayback Machine is taking us back to February 4th, 2011 for the 21st episode of The Galley Table! To celebrate the twenty first episode, we set about discussing young adult fiction. Joining us for this discussion is our special guest J.R. Murdock, along with the rest of the Galley Table crew. We disassemble what it means for a story to be YA, and some of the prevailing advice on fitting into that market. [click to continue…]

It is Wednesday, and time for another trip with the Wayback Machine. For a change, this time we are NOT going to be revisiting an episode of The Galley Table. This time we’re going to January 30th, 2011 when the Every Photo Tells… podcast released their performance of my short story The Price of Surrender. This story was nominated for a Parsec Award in the category of Best Speculative Fiction Story (Short Form), but unfortunately did not make it to the finals because of the amazingly fierce competition in that category.

The prompt for this story was a picture of a stream with clear water running over rounded stones. And a duck sitting on the end of a plank. So looking at this, it was obvious to me that magic was involved… [click to continue…]

Time to start off the week with another trip through the Wayback Machine! Today’s jaunt into the past takes us to January 21st, 2011 and Episode Nineteen of The Galley Table. In this episode we are joined by Starla Huchton of The Dreamer’s Thread fame. We are also joined by Flying Island press crew JP Losier, the ninja of podcasting, as we examine supporting Podiobooks and your favorite artists. We also discuss getting paid for writing, and some ways that social media can be used to spread the word. And, of course, silliness ensues.

Today we are letting the Wayback Machine take us back to January 15th, 2011. We didn’t have any guests, so this one is just me, Scott RocheZach Ricks, and Jeff Hite. Join us as we send up Star Trek captains, self publishing, and author love. And somewhere along the way we actually managed to have a semi-serious discussion about the craft of writing. Give it a listen!

This time the Wayback Machine is set for January 6th, 2011, and we’ve got another episode of The Galley Table! This was a fantastic episode with guests Podcasting’s Rich Sigfrit and Mike Plested. As a way of celebrating the New Year, we were supposed to be discussing where we thought new media would go in 2011, but with a guest like Podcasting’s Rich Sigrit, the conversation moved around a bit more than usual.

Once again the Wayback Machine provides us with another Galley Table episode. This one was released into the wild on December 25th, 2010. This Christmas present contains special guests Val Ford and David Sobkowiak. Join them and the rest of the panel as we rant about reality tv, passive protagonists, vampires, and fanfic. This is also the episode where Scott decided that I’d done so many episodes of Galley Table that I no longer counted as a guest. [click to continue…]

Return with me to December 4th, 2010, when I joined with the Galley Table crew to welcome Alex “The Gearheart” White, and Nobilis Reed to The Galley Table. To celebrate the end of NaNoWriMo, we talked about endings. Writing them, reading them, how people relate to them, and what makes a good ending.
