I only read on my phone and the whole "let's see if we can get people to do it" idea seems less "wouldn't it be cool if we could get people to do it" and more "what else would people do."

I had to decide if I wanted to be known as a writer or a reader. I chose writer.

specialize in small cast/single reader long fiction so I only compete against other podcasts of novels in that form.

My characters are all "just people" - people you might know - and the things that happen are things that anybody might do if they lived on a freighter that spent most of its time in the Deep Dark.

I can write three novels in the time it takes to write one novella. I'm probably not going to go with that form again.

I only read on my phone and the whole "let's see if we can get people to do it" idea seems less "wouldn't it be cool if we could get people to do it" and more "what else would people do."

My opinion is that more authors could use podcasts to differentiate themselves in a crowded text-based marketplace.
