A rerun of I Should Be Writing, the longest running writing podcast on the Internet, complete with commentary, new interviews, and transcripts! Look back at 2005 before host Mur had ever sold a story, and podcasting was barely a year old!

episode 4: [ISvBW] Revisiting the Michael A. Stackpole Interview
S1 Ep4
Episode four, and my very first interview! I meet with Mike at Dragoncon and use my tiny digital recorder to get the audio, which I've tried to clean up.
Transcript
Mike Stackpole: this is one of the big things that everybody who reads and contemplates writing usually runs into and I still run into this with reading really, really good writers, is you read this stuff and you go, Oh, my God, I could never do that. And what most writers don't realize was that that book that you've gotten your hands went through at least five different editions, you know, think about a magician who gets to make the card disappear five times, and only has to be right on one of those, you know, in the last time, if you can't get it right after five shots at it, then then you really shouldn't be doing it. But we get to revise stuff.- Music: Dana Countryman
