I Should Be Writing is the Podcast Peer- and Parsec Award-winning show that I’ve been hosting and producing since 2005. I’ve used the show to chronicle and discuss the bumps one encounters through working on a writing career by talking about my own situation and interviewing several pro writers. Focusing on the emotional road blocks one finds in a writing career, this show speaks to over 13000 listeners every week.

Ditch Diggers is BACK, streaming LIVE on Twitch, every other Monday, 2pm* Eastern!

While ISBW is for beginners who are easily intimidated by rejection and self-doubt, Ditch Diggers is the business of writing, when the craft is not as important as the deadline. (Oh the craft is very important. But deadline without craft can be worked with, but craft without deadline will never pay the bills.) We don’t worry about art here, we worry about the business of your writing. Because ditch diggers don’t get ditch digger block, so we refuse to let writer’s block stop us from doing our work.

I Should’ve Been Writing makes everything old new again!

I’m bringing back the episodes from the early days, when podcasters were the only people who knew what that word meant, and baby writer Mur hadn’t sold even one story. We’ll have commentary by me, full transcripts, annotations, and sometimes interviews with some old friends! I can’t wait to delve into the history of this show!
