(Here’s a random picture I took a while back, cos I like blog posts better with pictures)
Yes, it’s been a while… In fact it’s been almost exactly two years since my own blog post here.
It’s certainly not by intention, it’s just “stuff” comes up and directs my attention elsewhere (as it does for us all). And the longer I leave it to post back here, the less-pressing the urge becomes… But barring death haha, I’ll always be back here at some point to tell you about creative projects I’m working on, which I’ll always be doing too... Creating stuff is just what I’ve always done and always will.
And yes, occasionally I’ll even get around to publishing something from the shelves and drawers filling my room too ;)
So my plan now I’m back here is to share some of the things I’ve been doing and working on over the coming weeks and months, to finish some of the blog serials I’ve started here, and to share some other things of news and interest. (It sounds all great in theory!)
You may be wondering at the title of this post, since I haven’t actually addressed that yet… Sure it’s a great statement, and certainly something I believe in and (try to) demonstrate at all times, but the reason for such a title is that I wanted to share two radio interviews I’ve just recently done with the Voice America talk radio network, on their Express Yourself! Teen radio show, and their Be the Star You Are! show.
From the links below you can hear almost an hour of me talking about my writing, about Tin Man Games and gamebooks, about The Dark Horde, and even about Halloween. There’s a few too many ums and ahs haha, but hopefully it’s interesting for you nonetheless. I had a lot of fun doing the interviews, and the hosts, Cynthia Brian, Asya Gonzalez and Brigitte Jia were fantastic!
INTERVIEW ONE WITH EXPRESS YOURSELF! TEEN RADIO
(My interview starts about 30:45 in, and runs to the end of the episode)
INTERVIEW TWO WITH STAR STYLE BE THE STAR YOU ARE! RADIO
(My interview starts about 38:35 in, and runs to the end of the episode)
