Podcast Problems

Posted January 23 2012 by Marrie Stone

As many of you have discovered, we’ve been having problems with our Writers on Writing podcasts. Unfortunately, our server lost hundreds of our shows. On the plus side, we have copies of everything and we’re in the process of restoring them, one by one, back to the server.

If there’s an episode you particularly miss or one that you’re looking for, write to us. We can move it to the head of our restoration process. In the meantime, please bear with us as we keep working. It’s a long process!

Thanks so much for your loyalty and listenership, and for bearing with us while we fix the problems.

“Pen on Fire has got a wonderful mix of the practical and the inspirational, which can only come from a writer who knows what she’s doing and what it takes to get things done. She understands that hard work is at the bottom of good writing, but she also points out that a certain lightness and sense of exploration and play are important, too. Pen on Fire helps them to see that writing, although difficult, can be fun.”

—T. Jefferson Parker

“We all know what it’s like to have that fierce drive to do something remarkable … and no idea where or how to start. Pen on Fire is a beginning writer’s dream cocktail of fortitude: equal parts compassion, inspiration, and fabulous limbering exercises. Want to be a writer? Drink deeply of Barbara DeMarco-Barrett’s hard-earned wisdom.”

—Jodi Picoult

“So many people have told me they are burning to write, but can’t seem to find a spare moment. I wish I could track them all down and hand each of them a copy of Pen on Fire. Barbara DeMarco-Barrett shows us how, even in our fast-paced, overscheduled, culture, we have more time than we realize to realize our creative dreams.”

—Gayle Brandeis
