I've started listening to this podcast called I Should Be Writing. It's hosted by Mur Lafferty, who has written several books, including one called "The Shambling Guide to New York City," which I've previewed and would like to read. Mur's podcast is really great. She talks about her own struggles as a writer, answers questions sent in by listeners, and discusses facts and myths about the actual profession of "writer," such as working with agents, editors, publishers, and how a book goes from manuscript to final product. Mur also interviews fellow writers, such as Charlaine Harris (whose book series is the basis for the TV show True Blood) and, wonderfully, author Jim Hines, who besides being a great author is also a fantastic person. Besides being an author, Jim is also known for occasionally choosing book covers featuring women who've been contorted for the sake of sex appeal, and then replicating those covers using himself. It's a hilario...
