Just passing on a fun writing-related podcast for everyone to listen to:

http://www.writingexcuses.com/

One of the guys (Howard) is actually frequently at Dragon's Keep in Provo. He's the one who draws Schlock Mercenary.

Also, one of the others is Brandon Sanderson, who is a very talented new author. (Not so new anymore... but I still think of him that way)

The last (and best ;)) is Dan Wells, a horror writer and generally hilarious dude. His novel has not been released yet, but judging from "Blacker Darkness", it will be beyond awesome.

Getting deeper through the archives of the podcast, and it's INCREDIBLE. This is a MUST LISTEN for anyone who wants to try and make a living at writing.

The podcast does cover many subjects and is informative and consistent. The greatest attraction for me is that they don't just tell you how to write, they are fantastically hilarious ALL THE TIME. They complement each other so well. Each has a unique sense of humor, a strong personality, and (most importantly) a lot of knowledge in their fields.

Favorite moment?
