Writing Excuses: Season One

Announcing the newest podcast available on archive CD through PodDisc.com, Writing Excuses! Here is the shopping cart site for their Season One.

Brandon Sanderson, Dan Wells, and Howard Tayler present a tightly-paced podcast of advice for writers. This CD is the first complete season of MP3 episodes, each one “fifteen minutes long, because you’re in a hurry, and we’re not that smart.” It includes bonus episodes, outtakes, a full novel, sample chapters, essays, and desktop wallpapers.

I've already sold forty copies in the first day and a half. SWEET LARD AND HEAVENLY BUTTER. And the news hasn't even hit Howard's Schlockmercenary blog yet. I just got another one while I was writing this; but that one will have to wait. It's time for me to go to the post office!

 Uh-oh. I'm still registered to vote in Hazel Park. Voters must be registered by October 4. How do I set this right?

So I dropped off the first thirty or so orders at the local "Goin' Postal: Your Friendly Neighborhood Shipping Center". While I was there filling out international customs forms, I got the casheir to bring up PodDisc.com on his computer and he was really interested, so I hope I have a new customer.

Then I drove to this guy's home here in town and hand-delivered his CD. I have a bottle of glue that turns things into removable sticky-notes. I put it on the blank area on the front of a Penguicon business card, and stuck it face-down on the package. On the back of the business card I wrote: "We didn't say anything on the site about same-day delivery, but I like to under-promise and over-deliver. Enjoy! Sincerely, Matt at PodDisc.com."

There is an episode of Writing Excuses on there which won't be released for free in their feed for a week, so timeliness matters if they are to have that bonus.

I got home to find the number of orders escalated beyond all expectation. That will keep me in coffee beans and ramen. I need to re-order supplies.
