Anklecast 33: The First Video Anklecast

Okay, February is over, and Big Anklevich is back to report on his performance. Did he or didn't he achieve his goal? Did he or didn't he manage to write 500 words a day for an entire (short) month? And if so, how did that experience change him? What will the future be like?

Also, this Anklecast is a video podcast as well as an audio one. You can click on this link to see it on YouTube. You can actually find all of the Anklecast episodes, Dunesteef episodes, That Gets My Goat episodes on YouTube if you prefer to consume them in that way. This link will get you to the page.

If you prefer the old fashioned non-video way, here it is. You're probably not missing much. Big Anklevich is not as handsome as he used to be when he was younger.

Anklecast 32: Bumps In The Night Responses

Back in September (only two episodes ago), I published one of my stories that probably never should have seen the light of day, and asked the listeners to send me their ideas about what was missing, what was needed to make the story worthwhile. I got several responses and was excited about the listeners' participation, and now we have the show in which we get to see what everybody had to say. What was it that was missing? Let's find out.

Anklecast 31

This is not the follow up to the last episode just yet. Sorry folks. I don't know if anyone's all excited about that or not, but I'm not there yet. However, just after putting out the call for listener input on the last episode I happened to get together with Rish Outfield on an evening when we weren't ready to record anything else, so we decided to record an Anklecast. Then, sadly, I let it sit for a long time...like Stephen King does with his short stories, right?...it had to mellow a little. Also, the crazy time of year descended upon us, so there was that too.

Anyway, Rish and I got together, and we talked about...you guessed it! Writing! It must have been an effective talk, because since recording it, I've written my first short story in about a year. So, huzzah! If you're an aspiring writer, you'll probably enjoy this. If you're not...you might enjoy it? Either way, thanks for listening.

Anklecast 30: Bumps In The Night

That's right, I'm back with another cast. With thanks to and help from Justin Charles, there appears a story in today's episode titled "Bumps In The Night." I read the story, and discuss how I'd like the Anklecast fans to pitch in and help out. Please do. Please. Seriously, you complete me. Without you, there is nothing.

Oh, and enjoy the story?

Anklecast 28

Big Anklevich makes his shameful return! This show is months late, because I was too ashamed to admit how little success I'd had with the novel writing thing. But sooner or later, you gotta fess up, so you can move on. So here I am with an apology, and a dedication to someone who deserved better.

We'll never forget you Ginger.

Anklecast 27: Onward to the Breech

Just DO IT! MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!

In this month's episode, I answer a listener's question about the Dunesteef Novel Writing Challenge. I give a little bit of a teaser about what my novel will be about. Also, there's another story in the episode. Some people commented last week about how they liked the idea of having stories in the show, so I tried real hard and got one in there. It's the reason why the episode is so late, but you guys don't care, right?

So, hopefully you enjoy "Onward to the Breech".
