These Certain Musings

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.
