Updates in life and creative work. Live streamed on Sep 7, 2023.
Then I pulled the audio and did only very quick edits to the audio-only version: truncate silence (which got rid of empty gaps), noise reduction, amplification of dialogue to come closer to intro/outro music. Done and done.
Below are the notes that I referenced as we talked today.
Welcome to GCP.
I am your host, Don Bishop.
Today’s episode is live on YouTube. I will take this and upload it later to other locations, including the podcast proper which is where you’ll hear it if you listen on Spotify, YouTube, etc.
But it is live as I record it, so any “ums” will be left in place. It’s a trade-off, honestly, because that’s how I talk a lot of the time.
I’m doing this live to be quick and get an update out there. I didn’t publish a podcast episode in August, and I don’t like to disappear completely when I’m busy. I want to maintain contact with you.
So here we are, even though I’m still quite busy, recording live because I won’t spend hours editing it this way.
So, big updates:
-Nearing the end of active duty service
-out by end of year
-SkillBridge internship with Full Magazine Publishing
-MOU needed
-graphic novels – aimed mostly towards veterans, telling their stories
-industry partner to “refine skills” for “follow-on career pathways”
-I will be going to 20Books Vegas. I am registered and have booked my hotel room. No flight – thinking of driving our ‘95 civic instead. Cost, stops along the way.
Creative work updates:
-GC currently on pause in lieu of other effort
-Pushing through “Nightshade Unicorn”
-Shrongelin
-Nomord
-Sakalai
-2k words/day
-Expect some short stories
-Expect some story narration!!!
-Don’t forget “fantasty” – it’s still open, since we haven’t had a chance to really push it. I’ll close it 30 November, and announce a winner in December. $30 gift certificate to the restaurant or retailer of your choice.
