Litopia After Dark 009 - Why Do We Do It?

Recorded live and uncensored, LITOPIA AFTER DARK is a wide-ranging look at what’s new, hot or not in the worlds of writing, publishing, media and culture. Again, we can be found live on Ustream at 8pm (GMT) on Friday evenings and there’s an opportunity watch the Podcast being made and make comments during the programme. Panellists this week are Dave Bartram, Beverly Gray, Donna Ballman and Eve Harvey. The show this week is an introspective. The panel examine their own reasons for entering the highly competitive world of the unpublished writer and try to explain what it is about scribbling down words that excites them. Do they have a God Complex? Are they just bored? Or is it insanity that keeps them furiously typing when all the odds are stacked against them?
