Well, here we are
Write for Your Life is only in its second month in the blogosphere and already it has its own podcast. This first episode is very much an introductory affair, where I tell you a little more about my writing background and my thinking behind the blog.
In future episodes, there will be interviews, features and some hot, hot, (ouch my fingers) hot discussion about writing-related topics of my, or maybe your, choosing.

Great to see you getting it all on the road!

Really enjoyed that Iain. That posh podcasting gear was money well spent! And not to worry, you sounded perfectly natural. You made it sound easy! Look forward to #2.

“Iain is abnormal”.
That was really good. We listened to it twice and are all signed-up for the next ones. And by “we”, I mean “I”.
Nicely done.

You’re all very, very kind. Good to have you on board Mark – straight outta Tumblr, which is like Compton, but cuddlier.

Hi Iain – congrats on your new multimedia project. Listening to your podcast, I realised how lucky I’ve been in not having trouble with my muse – because I don’t have one! The one thing that got me writing regularly was finding an audience to present it to i.e. Words Aloud. So thanks for that, mate. Otherwise, its like the old zen proverb – if my dead-tree-writing falls in the literary-forest and there’s no-one there to hear it, does it really make a noise?

Really like the delivery and content, Iain. The audio quality is awesome, really smooth, like Radio 4!
If you want to interview me about writing my books for your most excellent podcast I will gladly volunteer my services!
I’m still unsure about writing being read out loud. I prefer to read rather than listen to fiction, but I think it’s a personal thing.

The way I see it Rex, is we’re all in the same boat. You, me, Dostoeyvsky, Plato, Barbara Cartland, whoever. According to the earth-existing-for-24-hours analogy, civilisation only arrived 1 second before midnight at the end of the 24 hours. And it’s highly unlikely that anyone is going to be reading anything any of us have written in 10,000 years time (a very short amount of time in the future, in the cosmic scheme of things.) Also, the earth could get destroyed by an asteroid at any minute. So, what does it matter? That’s why I try to write to the best of my ability without really thinking about the “effect” on the world, because the world is so delicate, fragile and transitory.
“Waffer thin”, as the frenchmen says in the After Eight ads.

I agree, Jude. I wasn’t trying to have an “effect” on the world, just the people in the Lescar.

Just listened to your first Podcast and I’d like to say a massive congratulations. I appreciate how much time and effort goes into recording these things but here’s hoping it’s the first of many.
This is my first post by the way. Hello.

I just listened to your first podcast and loved it! The website design is great also.
Thanks for all your effort and ideas.
