A podcasting adventure...
I'm excited to announce a new writing project: The Promptly Written Podcast. I'm teaming up with my friend and fellow writer Matt Sugerik on a monthly writing exercise. The idea is simple. We'll each take an identical writing prompt and write two flash-fiction stories. Each episode we'll read our stories and then have a discussion about the writing process, inspirations, etc.
The fun part is you the listener will have a chance to provide input and vote on prompts from month to month. Then at the end of the year, we'll publish an anthology of the past year's stories. We may even open up a reddit so you can write along with us.
This is definitely new territory for me. Anyone who knows me understands how reclusive I like to be; I've always wanted readers to find interest in my stories rather than me personally. So it's with a bit of trepidation that I set out on this project.
Matt and I have been friends for quite some time, despite the fact that we are polar opposites on so many things. This of course will make for interesting dichotomies with respect to how we craft our narratives using the same prompt. It also puts me out there in the public sphere a lot further than I've ever wanted to be, and the inevitable scrutiny that comes with it. Matt has his sense of humor and I have mine; he has his way of speaking and I have mine. You get the idea. It's going to be an interesting ride with lots of twists and turns, so I hope you'll respect each of our creative drives as well as our viewpoints that might creep in from time to time. At the end of the day, we want to write good stories rather than use the podcast as a soapbox.
