Podcasts about Writing: Writers on Writing

And on goes the List, the podcast Writers on Writing isn't actually a pure podcast, it's a weekly show on KUCI-FM available as a podcast.

My verdict, always inspiring and always worth listening to. Again, one of the podcasts I always carry with me on my iPod. The host, Barbara DeMarco-Barrett, explains the goals in an interview, so I don't have to word it myself.
;-)

Highly recommended.

Word: Awning

That is what happens when I'm running low on caffein (early in the morning), somebody asked me to explain the word "awning" to him. I retorted by asking him if he was talking about the urchin-variety or the "run-of-the-mill"-ones. We were even and looked up "awning" together.

Podcasts about Writing: The Writing Show

I started my rundown of podcasts about writing I would recommend with Grammar Girl, let's call it an essential, grammar is always important.

One of the other podcasts I always carry with me is The Writing Show. The subjects span almost everything concerning writing, be it plot-development, creativity, publishing the finished book, etc. Always interesting to listen to, thus my second recommendation.

Stay tuned, there is more to come.

Podcasts about Writing: Grammar Girl

There are podcasts about writing that I really like, means I don't leave home without them. The first one I'd like to present is called Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing.

If your first reaction to this suggestion is "I don't need grammar-lessons anymore", just remember that knowledge tends to get buried over time. The other thing I found out is, that it really helps to get gentle reminders once in a while. The show concentrates on one topic per episode and it takes you approximately 6 to 8 minutes to listen to it. So it's a little refresher once a week, taking not too much time out of our busy schedules, and in my opinion worth listening to.

If you are using iTunes, then you could use this URL as a shortcut for subscribing to the show.

I'll write about the other podcasts during the next couple of days, so stay tuned.
