For the first time ever, I’ve been interviewed on a podcast! This one, The Not-Starving Artist, is out of New Zealand, which is 16 hours ahead (behind? no, ahead) of me timewise. It was a little difficult to choose a time when the host, Angie Noll, and I 
were both available. Luckily, she is a morning person and I am most definitely not, so we found a New Zealand morning/New York afternoon when we could both talk.
And talk I did! If you know me, you’re probably aware that I’m a little uncomfortable speaking in public. But speaking from my bed, with my computer in my lap and the dog at my feet, turns out to be no problem at all. It helped a lot that Angie had great questions. So I went on about publishing, the slush pile, submitting, agents, how I write — basically everything you ever might have wanted to know about how my career 
developed and how I work, and then some. After we were done talking — nearly an hour’s worth! — I had no idea what I’d said, and I had to wait anxiously while she edited it and readied it for prime time. But it turns out I didn’t use any profanity, didn’t insult anyone, and sounded more or less like I knew what I was talking about. Who’d have guessed?
Here’s a link to the podcast. Enjoy!
