ISBW #218 Writing the Other / Lou Anders Interview
This one was tough to do. I'm pretty closed to as privileged as you can be (I'm a female non-Christian, that's about it), so the chances to offend/get something incredibly wrong are large. But that's the point. People are afraid to write about other races, other genders, other sexual orientations, other ages, other nationalities, because they're afraid to get it wrong, afraid they will offend someone. But it needs to be talked about. It needs to be written about. It makes you a better writer because you work will better reflect the world we live in, and it will make your work available to a wider audience.
And then we talk to Lou Anders from WorldCon, a very tired, loopy, Lou Anders, the Hugo Award Winning editor from Pyr!

ISBW #217 The icky details / grammar girl interview
Creative types don't think about stuff like investments, insurance, and file backups. That is, until they're 65, sick, with no money in the bank, and their hard drive just crashed. This is stuff you must consider.
Since recording this, I've learned about the Freelancer's Union, and I just became a member. It's rather NYC focused, but there are plenty of benefits for the rest of us too. http://www.freelancersunion.org/
