The excitement is barely contained right now. Long have I been a slave to Blizzard Entertainment, but tonight I may have found freedom in canceling my subscription to World of Warcraft in preparation of classes getting under way this week. This, however, is not the reason for my excitement.
After 4 years of being involved in a hot and torrid love affair with podcasting, and an even longer on-again-off-again relationship with audio dramas, I did some research. The information I found has left me with the ever difficult task of trying to sleep. Somehow I had thought that space needed for a podcast worked similar to web hosting; wherein it was necessary to account for server space for all the information posted. Tonight I found that LibSyn does things quite different from what I expected. Every 30 days they reset the counter and all that is necessary is for the customer to stay under the allotted space purchased during a month and then those older podcasts are archived without extra charge.
THAT IS SO COOL!
Now I find myself fighting the urge to start combing through the works I have completed and those in progress to find the one. That one perfect and enticing piece of work to kick off a podcast and no longer sit comfortably on the sidelines as a listener. Sadly I have been slacking on my writing and there are only a few pieces that can be considered, but those few pieces are promising. (Of course I'm not biased in the least as to think this stuff is ready to go. Me? Do that? NEVER!)
The daunting task of editing and expounding upon the works in progress begins soon, quite possibly tomorrow. (This means I may no longer be available to defend the galaxy, but surely someone else can continue that task in my absence.) Before that can begin there is a more pressing task to accomplish.
Sleep. Perhaps my old friend will find me once more in the absence of a game that caters to addictive personalities and completists. If it continues to evade me, well, I always thought I did my best writing when I was unable to sleep.
