Novelists at Work Ep 003 – Communication is the bane of my existence | A really quick podcast to talk about how bad I am at communication and how important it is for a writer to be able to communicate. As the wonderful Story Wonk people say... "If you can't be a good example, be a horrible warning." I'm pretty sure they were talking about me... Music by Dano. | 2/20/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

IWBAW Ep 000 – Back from the dead with a new beginning | Topic: Revival That's right, folks. I've revived the old podcast (with a few changes) and I'm currently trying to gather new material so that the podfading doesn't happen again. This is a rather short episode. It's meant to be kind of a preview, to let you guys know what's coming soon and also, I wanted to test the feed into iTunes and make sure everything is where it's supposed to be. Let me know what you think. Also, I'm soliciting questions and topics for the podcast. Send those requests to iwbaw@novelistsatwork.com and I'll try to answer them all in an upcoming podcast episode.

IWBAW S02 EP04 – Changing Projects | Main Topic: Changing Projects Developing yourself as a writer is hard work. Sometimes when you experiment and try new things, it works, while at other times, it fails miserably. Credits: Music is provided by: Party Boys and is licensed under an Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License and was downloaded from The Free Music Archive. Go check out that site. It has lots of fun, free music. I've had this podcast episode recorded for a while, but it took me a while to get it edited. It dates itself. I recorded one the other day so I should have another up soon. This summer is dedicated to getting myself back on track. | 5/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

IWBAW S2 Ep 03 – Hero’s Journey Character Archetypes – Mentor | Main Topic: The Mentor Archetype I'm talking a little bit about what I've been up to, and then we delve into our next archetype in the Hero's Journey, the Mentor. I spaz out on movie character names and generally make a fool out of myself. Fun!

IWBAW S2 Ep02 – Archetypes: The Hero | Main Topic: Archetypes: The Hero I'm back! No more sickness! No more broken computers! No more laziness. Today we're discussing character archetypes. I'll give you a general overview and then talk about the least-defined archetype: The Hero. Thanks so much to everyone that emailed and asked if there were going to be more podcasts. Between being sick, my computer breaking down, and general apathy in January and February, it's been really hard to concentrate. Links My main website - I mentioned it on the podcast, but that's the link to my main website, in which you can pretty much get anywhere on my site. Book-addicts.com - you'll find me there on Fridays for my regular book reviews. Christopher Vogler's The Writer's Journey - This is the link for the book I'm referencing while I talk about archetypes. Check it out. So far, I'm fascinated.

IWBAW S2 Ep 01 – The Obligatory New Year’s Podcast | Main Topic - Getting Serious with Goals, One Word at a Time It's a new year. It's that time when people make ridiculous New Year's Resolutions that they'll forget about in a week or two. It's that time when the gyms fill up with new members and everyone is on a diet, which strangely enough, includes me this year. What do your goals have in common with each other? One Word can make a difference. I'm talking about how today on the podcast. Homework assignment: Write down a bunch of single word phrases that encompasses some part of each of your goals. Mine was Grow, because every goal I had was geared towards growing my life into something I could be proud of having. What's your word this year?

Go check out that site. It has lots of fun, free music. *Special Note: I'm changing up the basic structure of my website in the next few weeks, which means the podcast will be moving. You can still get to it through iwannabeawriter.com but it will redirect to iwbaw.suzanisik.com in the future. The feed URL is set up through Feedburner, so if you subscribe that way, you shouldn't have any issues with the move. It should continue as it has if all goes right. | 1/7/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode #6 – Happy Revisions! | Main Topic: How do you do revisions anyway? Since I'm tackling some big revisions of my own, I thought it would be a good idea to discuss how I do revisions. While my process changes slightly with every story, it's still important to have one when dealing with this particular part of writing. Whether published or unpublished, revisions are a critical part of writing, a required part. While it can be difficult, it can also be fun. Join me today as I discuss my methods.

I'll be back with more podcasts on January 7th, 2011. Thanks for a great time this year. Your emails and feedback have been a tremendous help for me. Podcasting is a completely new medium for me, but I'm really enjoying it, and I'm learning a lot from it, mostly because of the feedback of those more technologically adept than me have cared to send. So, please keep the feedback coming. I love hearing from you guys, and sometimes, I even learn from you. <3 | 12/18/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode #4 – How to write a novel | This podcast episode is geared more towards the newer writer who has never completed a novel. Come to think of it, I probably should have done this one at the beginning of NaNoWriMo, but I didn't think of it then. Main Topic - How DO you write a novel? What does a novel consist of? I'm talking about it today by breaking it up into bite-size pieces to think about before you even begin writing. Links Nathan Bransford's blog post on revision. I found the music (by Party Boys) from the podcast at The Free Music Archive. Check it out. Because it is awesome. So much music, so little time. | 11/12/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
