Its been quite a while since I did an episode so thought I would try something new. This is just a small video explaining what I’m up to.

We are now at a new website, it is now http://chrisamoody.com. Also found a group to help me with my audio dramas. Thanks to Gypsy Audio for that!

Did you win? I had decided to hold off till this month as my idea wasn’t thought through enough. Now I’m not so sure.

I’ve recently discovered that one of my problems is being that I do chat tech support for a web hosting company (a job that, especially, through the Holiday period) I may write pretty close to 20k to 30k words in a shift. By the time I come home and can even think about being creative it feels like my word count for the day is used up.

Do you ever feel this way? How do you get over your Word Count limits?

The included MP3 explains why. I’m still looking for feedback from the first 4 episodes, please let me know your not just subscribing, let me know your listening!
