I\u2019m a little amazed that I\u2019m sitting here working on the eleventh episode of Managlitch City Underground<\/a>. I\u2019ve already released just over two hours of audio since I started: an entire movie\u2019s worth of storytelling. And while it\u2019s not a complete one-man show, I do most of the heavy lifting all by myself: writing, most of the acting, editing, graphics, webmastering, etc. This is literally the product of four decades of trying my hand at anything that interested me.<\/p>\n

Is it any good? I like it, and I know of at least a few regular listeners. Like any creative type would, I hope I keep getting more. I do think it steadily improves as I learn more and more about what I\u2019m doing – by making mistakes, of course. Only way to improve.<\/p>\n

I had to ditch another con due to finances, as $1000 of car repairs (front CV joints and tires) swallowed up my Shore Leave money without a trace. That meant leaving my fellow actors in Luna-C without a cast member, so it\u2019s extra painful, though they had a month\u2019s notice to work around the problem. Looking forward to working with them at MarsCon next January.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still going to Intervention<\/a> in two weeks, mainly because I can\u2019t drop out of that; I\u2019m staffing coordinator there, thanks to a terrible attack of constaffus volunteeritis. On top of that, I\u2019m a member of a panel on World Building with Pete \u201cSluggy Freelance\u201d Abrams, I\u2019m presenting a talk on the making of my bawdy slapstick videos, and I\u2019m recording an episode of Managlitch City Underground live<\/em>\u00a0at the con with audience participation and special guest voices which I can\u2019t yet discuss. I\u2019ll almost certainly cosplay too; I hope I see lots of my friends there. Gonna be fun, and I\u2019m going to be exhausted when it\u2019s done!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been to see a doctor for the first time in years. They\u2019ve x-rayed my hip and kidney to be sure neither will be offering trouble anytime soon, and I\u2019m back on anti-anxiety meds which is wonderful<\/em>. I lose so much time and work to panic attacks and general feelings of dread; I\u2019m absolutely thrilled to have the chemical tools again to beat that back. Things are still great with Maya, and I\u2019m so lucky to have her at my back when things are bumpy. We make an amazing team.<\/p>\n

With luck, I\u2019ll have lots of amazing news from Intervention. Until then, drop me a note if you\u2019re enjoying the podcast!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
