Free book! Woo hoo... really takes the pressure out of holiday gift giving
Another client has her book on amazon for free this weekend. And it has pictures!
I read it, I liked it, if I had some screenwriting chops might give it a go. As it is, I'm using the pics from it to play with FD12, and I'm trying to outline it.
Anyway, grab it while...

Undertow Series
Undertow is a series by Michael Buckley. I read the Undertow series a couple of summers ago and it absolutely changed my perspective about the way I read things. And it also inspired me to be more confident in my writing. The way I wrote. What I wrote about. Why I wrote it. I love the Science Fictio...

Favorite Filmmaker Memoir?
How did I not know there was an Akira Kurosawa memoir?!? Checking out now!
What's your favorite filmmaker memoir? The last one I read was Joss Whedon's (although I will forever have a fondness for Wishful Drinking, Carrie Fisher's book).

But I digress... what would you suggest?

Expand commentI suppose that's as good an analogy as any, although I'm embarrassed to admit I haven't listened to many podcasts! There are actually audiobooks that are released as "serial" podcasts, but most are digital downloads from companies like Audible, Chirp, Downpour, Hoopla... and you can even get them as downloads (or physical CDs) from your local library!
I love audiobooks!
I’ve been digging into levar burton reads podcast where levar burton reads his favorite short stories. It’s fantastic and all usually under an hour.
