I’m more active on social media, but as I usually say, time writing these posts for the website is time not spent writing the current composition.

New Podcast Recommendation + Most Anticipated of 2017
I like podcasts. (For the uninitiated, podcasts be like on-demand radio shows.) There’s a whole smattering of my favorites available on the Writing page, because stories for your ears are as good as ones for your eyes. I try a lot of podcasts, because there’s so much great content out there.
