Episode 76 - It's not just what you say it's the way that you say it. Why the sound of your writing matters.

[Andrew]

There's a lot of truth in the old adage: "it's not what you say, it's the way that you say it". We all want to tell a great story, but part of that is how we tell our story. Some authors seem to have a captivating and beguiling sound to their work. How do they do it? What are the problems that can occur with the sound of writing, and how can we avoid them? In this episode we look at some of the problems that can make your work sound stuttering or clunky or dull - and then we go on to discuss the key to making your writing sound good: it's all in the editing.

Andrew et al - did you see this? http://www.centauri-dreams.org/?p=36248 an "interesting" SETI signal. I thought the name of the star was interesting, too :)

So cool - but interesting signals before have failed to pan out. Still - can't help but keep an eye on this one.

Hi Kate

Yes, I did see this one, it's another 'wow signal' moment :-) and of course we can keep an eye on it. I'm guessing however this one pans out these will keep happening until one day we might get a real one.

What are we going to do then?!

I've seen public opinion polls that says half the people think we're already being visited by aliens, so maybe it won't be as big a deal as I think. But - for me - super wow :)
