What this episode covers

Microcasting! It's what we call a Q&A, because it's like several little podcasts in one! Here are the questions (you'll have to listen to the show for the answers): * How do you manage your workload? * Are writing contests worth it? Which ones are good? * How do you make it clear that the weird aspects of your world are done on purpose rather than just being bad science? * How do you know when to take a break from your writing? * What are your word count suggestions for various markets?

Kurt Vonnegut: Reporter on the Afterlife Fountainhead Transmedia, Inc. Could death be a quality? A place? Not an ending, but an occurrence that changes those it happens to? In Kurt Vonnegut: Reporter on the Afterlife, Vonnegut skips back and forth between life and the Afterlife as if the difference between them were rather slight. In light hearted interviews with Sir Issac Newton, Adolf Hitler, Isaac Asimov, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, William Shakespeare, Joan of Arc, and Kilgore Trout, among others - Vonnegut trips down “the blue tunnel to the pearly gates” in the guise of a roving reporter for public radio, all the while dodging the crotchety bureaucrat, Saint Peter. Kurt Vonnegut: Reporter on the Afterlife, began in 1999 as a series of 90 Second interludes for WNYC, New York City’s public radio station.
