The small audience cop-out episode. I started to write a play this week, completeing drafts of the first two scenes. I did some more work on my novel, editing in an interesting character detail. I also found the epigraph for the book, a quote from Irvine Welsh's Porno. There is no original work presented this week. Instead I opted to talk about some of the things that Douglas Coupland has not influenced me into doing, even though they would be really fun to do.

I finished one short story, The Textile Life. I wrote down some ideas for a play. I realised that the title of my novel may not work. I put up a forum at mikeromard.com, and I am planning to overhaul that site. This episode's story is Jimmy Wilkins Birthday.

A progress report for the last two weeks. Not much progress. I wrote a scene for the NotaBle Acts contest, started the last chapter of my novel, and mindmapped some stuff for my next one. A reading of Not Without My Latte, a short story in the Mark series. A brief talk about Not Without My Latte. Closing theme music, also from Dill Pickles Rag.

I worked on two stories and one chapter of a novel. A reading of Showdown, a vignette that may possibly be a short story. A talk about Showdown, interrupted by a phone call from my mother. No closing music. Sun, 16 Apr 2006 15:27:57 -0400 Writing Mike Romard http://mikeromard.com/media/isg000.mp3 Show Notes. This is not an episode. This is just me recording a test.
