Writer's First Podcast

[blairmacg]

The cool folks at Beyond the Trope invited me to chat about writing fight scenes.  Today, the podcast went live.  You can listen to it here.

Usually when I record stuff, I’m working from a script or, at the very least, a PowerPoint presentation.  Usually when I’m answering questions and such, I’m doing so in front of a group, in person, where expressions and body language make up so much of the communication.  Recording a podcast based on questions asked by folks I couldn’t see was absolutely nerve-wracking!

You’ll hear those nerves in the opening ten minutes or so.  Fortunately, Michelle, Giles, and Emily were great chatting companions, and I had a great time once I relaxed.

So take a listen and tell me what you think!  I hope you’ll find something in there useful to you.
