I checked a few of you in for multiple days and although I
think I got everybody, my brain is a fried egg right now. So please do let me know if I missed anything.
Today's topic is one that would not have even occurred to me in the Before Times, but the roommate has been playing podcasts while he works and they have piqued my interest.
I know nothing about what's out there, so tell me about your favourite podcasts. About writing? By writers but not talking about writing? About something completely different unrelated to writing?
silveradept has already mentioned
Start With This by the creators of
Night Vale and I am definitely going to be checking that one out. What else is out there that you think is worth listening to?

Date: 2020-11-15 07:50 pm (UTC)(this is not a check-in; please hold)I am not getting very far trying to characterize Chloé in nine lives, but I gotta. I don't think she's particularly important to most of the course of the story, but she was vital in the point at which this AU diverged from canon, and I want to explore the consequences—and distract thereby from the important stuff other characters are saying while she's present and the point-of-view character. also I woke up to some positively delightful comments on the nine lives bit I finished up after checking in yesterday and posted around midnight.

Date: 2020-11-15 08:04 pm (UTC)Today, I added 1160 words to finish Chapter 20.
(no subject)
Date: 2020-11-15 09:04 pm (UTC)Nov 15th - 1391 words, a double drabble, a short but smutty challenge fic, and a tiny bit of editing. Lots of writing, but only 16 rows of knitting.

Also sent the Yuletide fic off to beta!

Date: 2020-11-15 11:21 pm (UTC)Re podcasts, it's not writing related, but my latest favorite fiction podcast is Old Gods of Appalachia. The narrator's got a great storytelling voice, and it's delightfully spooky.

Date: 2020-11-15 11:52 pm (UTC)Nov 15: I wrote a bunch of words, finishing a story, and then I published it.
This now puts me over 55K-published-words for the year! (Most years I publish 55-65K words, just as a matter of course. I wasn't expecting to make that range this year, what with the new job and all, and then the pandemic happened and everything got super weird. But here I am, 55K published words, and I almost certainly have one more story in me before year-end, woot!)

Date: 2020-11-16 02:15 am (UTC)You know, you are about the third person to recommend that podcast to me, all people from different circles. I am definitely going to have to check it out.

Date: 2020-11-16 02:18 am (UTC)Congrats on publishing! That's amazing.
(no subject)
Date: 2020-11-16 02:54 am (UTC)Today I wrote 600-some words for my longfic and started properly planning out my fic for
podcasts and checkin
Date: 2020-11-16 03:57 am (UTC)A few podcast recommendations I made a few years ago, entirely not about writing. I think "Say Why to Drugs" is the one among those that I really wish more people knew about -- great material and not enough people have heard of the show!
And some music podcasts I like as ways to introduce me to new artists. "The Roadhouse" is great for blues.

Date: 2020-11-16 04:58 am (UTC)Mostly unrelated to writing - although Neil Gaiman was the guest for an episode so perhaps that counts - I do like David Tennant Does a Podcast With... which recently wrapped its second series because apparently being in lockdown with his wife and five kids couldn't stop David from working. (Two series of Staged, the podcast, voice work for Ducktales and various bits and bobs... the man never stops.)
Day 15: typed up some of what I wrote over the past week and added at least 150 words while I typed.

Date: 2020-11-16 03:21 pm (UTC)Checking in for Days 14 and 15, accomplishments in clearing tabs and adding to assignments. I think the one with the closest deadline is in complete draft form, so that's good. On to making sure the others get there soon.
