Is this the next great thing for writers?

Podcast 

Have you considered submitting a story for a podcast?

I’ll be honest, I haven’t given it a lot of thought.

Not sure why. My sister submitted one of hers to No Extra Words, and it sounds terrific. You can listen to “Life in Repetition” by Sheila M Good in Episode 35  But me,  I’m still a bit unsure about the medium.

On YouTube, you can find everything from How to write fiction, to Horror Animated Stories. Seems there are a more ways to tell your story than just putting words on paper.

There are lots of places to you can submit a Flash Fiction and Short Story Podcast. If you’re ready, check out the following websites.

Do you know how to break through that barrier?

Have you found a way to break that writer’s block?

To break through whatever is holding you back?

I did, and right in the middle of a holiday.

Writer’s block is banished and hope to hell it stays gone at least for few months. LOL

It was wonderful to sit and write not stop. Not even a bathroom break before I passed 1000 words! Here lately, that’s quite an accomplishment.

What changed? Me.

I relaxed for a few days. Watched TV, read a couple of good books, started a couple of bad books, and read a few great blog posts.  Plus I kept my notebook close by. Yep, you read that right. Old fashioned pen and paper. It seemed that by letting myself off the hook, my mind felt free and the dam burst.

I’d jotted down whatever popped into my head. Later I’d free write or micro-plot from my notes. Nothing more, no pressure to do more than that. Then after a few days, I looked over those messy notes. Those scribbles made about as much sense as a drunk giving directions to the next best bar in town.

But odd as this may sound, I spotted a common thread that began to make sense. I almost flew to my computer. 

And write, I did.

Writing is an escape for me. So I miss it when I can’t take a trip. I miss visiting with crazy characters. I even miss writing and deleting the rubbish no one else will read.

If you need a little encouragement. Read this post by author Roxie Cooper guest post on BlondeWriteMore. Ms. Cooper will help you realize you’re not alone. Click and read!

What do you think, is it really never too late?

Only if you’re dead.

Even if you’ve published that book a year ago, as I did. Go ahead and register that copyright. Better safe, than sorry.

A big shout out to CHRIS THE STORY READING APE’S BLOG for always pointing us to important and relevant information.
