Dismissing and minimizing the process, in any art, is partially what has led to widespread acceptance of AI generated art and writing.

When your focus is on the result, you are not partaking in art. You are a bystander.
Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

i've been working on my narration skills for audio work. since my first narration had audio quality i wasn't proud of, and did not make me happy in my delivery? i've been trying to improve more.

now have done a total of five published narrations, and just had my sixth accepted.

I LOVE THIS ONE.

Excited to share PseudoPod's wonderful performance (read by Rebecca Wei Hsieh) of "The Squatters" by Shawna Yang Ryan from Silk & Sinew. This is a story that will stick with you for a long long time.

Light a candle, snuggle with a blanket, and take a listen.

We have! There are many excellent ones. For example, this year we ran The Old Lady, by Eleanor Scott, which is a delightfully disturbing tale.
