The Blood-Red Pencil Podcast

Ep 04 - I can use this

Today’s episode dives into some of our discussion over the years at the Blood-Red Pencil about that spark of excitement you get when you connect a new idea to one or more of the story subplots you’ve been mulling over.
Everywhere we look there is inspiration of one sort or another. Sometimes it’s so much that we actively have to tell our minds to hold off on generating new ideas until we’ve had a chance to complete the dozens already waiting in line.
 

Ep 03 - Have you broken your resolutions yet?

Welcome back to the Blood-Red Pencil podcast. We would like to wish all our readers and listeners a very happy new year and a successful and prosperous 2023. 
New Year’s resolutions—no matter how well-intended—are made to be broken. Why so? Could it be that they are created on a whim and aren’t backed by the commitment that turns spoken words into physical (or mental) action?

Ep 02 - Scorpion-Readers and the Writers Being Stung

Author, how shall I harm thee? Let me count the ways.
Piracy, copyright theft, and plagiarism. Hurtful reviews and personal attacks. Second-hand books. Bookstore returns. Now, reader returns on fully-read ebooks and audiobooks.

Ep 01 - Fools and Sages

Welcome to the brand new Blood-Red Pencil podcast. Our theme for April is Fools and Sages, and, while we do enjoy entertaining you with a little foolishness, we hope that, after 14 years of blogging at the Blood-Red Pencil, what we have to offer is a whole lot of writing and editing wisdom. We'll also recap our first quarter of 2022.
