Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:57:00 GMT

Welcome to Hodgepodge Point where we're peering over a collection of amateur writings. Here there is no specific style or genre and who knows what extras we'll throw in.

Yeah, I'm making a habit here with the waiting to long between shows. I'm back though. I'm not dead...yet. I did cheat again and used one of my 365 Tomorrows called Bar Room Brawl.

Still want submissions. I haven't settled on word count exactly, but probably close to no more than 3,000 words. Maybe up to 5,000. Send me your short story, poem, or novel excerpts. Forward them recorded or raw for me to read. All submissions, comments, or complaints can be forwarded to hodgepodgepoint@gmail.com. Love having you listen and can't wait to see you next week. Thank you for helping me keep writing.

Hodgepod 44: A Little Out Of Practice (Story - Hoard)

Tue, 5 Feb 2008 23:04:00 GMT

Welcome to Hodgepodge Point where we're peering over a collection of amateur writings. Here there is no specific style or genre and who knows what extras we'll throw in.

Once again I took forever to get one up. It was recorded this Sunday, edited then edited wrong then reedited on Monday and fought with Libsyn on Tuesday. Despite all that, it is here...I hope. Plenty of rambling this week. Note the content worth something and your paper will still be blank by the end. Then I cheat and read my 365 Tomorrows story called Hoard.

I'm still trailing behind, but at least something was put up. I sort of catch you up with what I've been doing, which isn't much. Little bellydancing, derby, and Nanowrimo. Then I present my story that was published on 365 Tomorrows. You can read it here http://www.365tomorrows.com/10/05/solution-for-a-whole-man/ or just listen to me read it.

Another Delay - Bleh

Fri, 17 Aug 2007 01:38:00 GMT

Alright, I'm being a lamo and taking another week off in a sense. I have this week's story written, but not recorded so I'll take care of it this weekend and maybe that will put me back on the track that I've derailed from. Look for me in a few days....

Sorry about my absence

Sat, 23 Jun 2007 13:32:00 GMT

Hey everyone, sorry I just dropped off the web planet here. I didn't get what I needed done before my family came and since they've been here, I've had no time. When I do actually get on the computer, I'm tired or just can't concentrate. My story is still not done and I can't even get to my recording equipment. I apologize, but the earliest I'll get another podcast out will be the first of July. So please stick with me. I will be back. I have not quit. I only see my family twice a year so they are the important thing right now. Thanks for your support guys. Keep looking for me. I will be back!

Take a listen to this one folks. I included some bloopers. They're not hilarious, but still fun. This week's challenge was Cheating and the topic was actually mine from winning on a previous story. We're not doing so hot in the polls, but I do this for the story, not the free magnets. Or so I keep telling myself......

Welcome to Hodgepodge Point where we're peering over a collection of amateur writings. Here there is no specific style or genre and who knows what extras we'll throw in.

This week I get all into talking about Roller Derby which I saw on Saturday. That sucks up most of the time so there is little more there.

You can find her chatting about on www.strangelyliteral.com and www.fantabzulous.com

Thanks to everyone who has sent me submissions. I really appreciate it, but I want to encourage everyone else to still send me stuff. I need all the support I can get. And, of course, thank you for listening. E-mail submissions or comments to hodgepodgepoint@gmail.com.

Welcome to Hodgepodge Point where we're peering over a collection of amateur writings. Here there is no specific style or genre and who knows what extras we'll throw in.

Alright, this episode really blows. I used my new equipment, but I obviously don't know how to arrange it cause it sounds all muffled. Sorry about that. Hopefully, I'll figure it out for the money I spent. I really do ramble this week then present a story I wrote the same day from my Immortals Collection.

Really want more submissions. Thanks to those who have sent me stuff, but I want to see new faces too. I should really say all this in my podcast where you listen rather then here where you probably don't read. E-mail me at hodgepodgepoint@gmail.com. I'll be happy to read for you or you can send over a recorded piece. Thanks for listening. I appreciate it.

Welcome to Hodgepodge Point where we're peering over a collection of amateur writings. Here there is no specific style or genre and who knows what extras we'll throw in.

This week I discuss being on twitter which you can find me under Laieanna and getting new equipment to help with my podcasting. Then I go into length about my fun/mortifying time bellydancing.

After all that mess, I read another wonderful poem by Tom Marquette. I love his poems and you should too. You can find his podcast at www.footnote.libsyn.com

Alright, so I'm posting this WAY late for voting, but you can still enjoy. The topic was mine and it was Pea Shooter. I enjoyed my story even though it's not a big hit over there. Could be cause the sound came out really low. *sigh* Hopefully it's better here.

You can find his Crescent Vignettes and the novel when it's released at Crescent

Taking a short break

Sun, 22 Apr 2007 22:53:00 GMT

Sorry guys, I'm on hiatus this week. I didn't get a chance to prepare like I wanted to and I have a particular subject I want to talk about so it'll be next week before I present anything. I've been pretty damn faithful so I can take a break every now and then.

Look for me next week. I will be back, even if I'm a couple days late. Take care everyone and I'll see you next week.

I think I went hog wild in the talking this week. Trying to determine if I'm a geek then I go over my amazement at people who work on one group of characters and one world for years.

I know, I know...I skipped a week. Yes, I did participate for challenge 39, but the story wouldn't make sense to most people. It was made specifically for Laurence. This week was Starting A New Job. This one embarrasses the hell out of me every time I listen to it....but it also makes me laugh.

Hodgepod 15: Home Is Where The Snow Is (Poem - Far Fig Newton, A Children's Story by Pain)

Sun, 21 Jan 2007 16:03:00 GMT

Welcome to Hodgepodge Point where we're peering over a collection of amateur writings. Here there is no specific style or genre and who knows what extras we'll throw in.

I'm very pleased with this week's podcast. Other than the gurggle sound from trying to adjust my podcast to get rid of the background noise, I didn't pop in the mic or really mangle this one up much. Editing was pretty simple, and I finished it on a Saturday. Holy Crap! What's wrong with me? I'm accomplishing things!

The poem this week is from a personal friend of mine who just wants to be introduced by his username Pain. You can find out more about him on www.myspace.com/discardedpain

Got some submissions coming my way and I'll take plenty more. Send them to hodgepodgepoint@gmail.com along with any comments or suggestions you might have. Thanks everyone...I love ya...in a nonsexual way. Take care and see you next week!!

This time I go on about the show I saw later in the day...which was excellent, except we were in the orchestra pit so the stage was higher up and I couldn't watch their feet. But I got souvenirs from the stage! Then I discuss my need to be part of a community.

I cherish your feedback so send it over as a comment on my libsyn page or e-mail me at hodgepodgepoint@gmail.com. Please, stick around for future episodes. I love having you in my home. Take care.

Happy Halloween everyone. Hope your costume isn't permanent. Muhahahaha!
