A big Hello from the hosts

Hello and welcome to my new podcast. This is going to be a completely new endeavor by me. The podcast itself will be a discussion on creating and fleshing out the ideas that I have in my head for this Universe that I have created. After we discuss said topics I then plan on writing down the write ups, and soon to have sketches follow. Jim and I will be talking about whatever topics we have some knowledge and if we don’t we hope to bring in a guest host who can fill us in. 

I hope to have either several short stories or a novel/novella and some short stories. We shall see how it pans out. Now some of you are probably wondering why are you doing this? To be honest I’m not the best writer, but I hope with doing this podcast I will have more and better information to put down on the page, and also be better informed on how to write this for you. I am not diluting my self as this will be a masterpiece and make me rich. I really do not intend on selling this I wish to put it up in PDA form for free, and eventually a audio book to listen to.

As I have mentioned to some of my friends, When I was  younger I wanted to be a movie director. I had this great idea for a movie, I needed a great space opera with better space battles and cool stuff. I tried to become a movie director and go to USC to study where the greats learned, but I suck at standardized testing and I could not afford to go there. So I found a different path in life, like so many do. But my Idea never went away it always got bigger and bigger. Now that I have a daughter I would love to tell her these stories, but Im not a writer im a Computer tech. What do I know about writing, not much, but I hope to learn through this podcast.

The other reason that I am doing this is because I was inspired by a few of my friends. Dan, who you would know from fear the boot. He has his own grand story that I know he wants to tell, his Epoch of Rysos. I know that he has run this a role-playing game, as I would assume that many people with grand ideas like these do. I think if given the chance he would write a book about it, and I would love to read it.

Also I was inspired by Adam, who was with fear the boot, and now is doing his own podcast about writing called the habitual insomniac. This has inspired me to get the courage to write my ideas. In fact there is already a short one page story up, I have received some critiques. I hope to write more and have people tell me what they think so that I can go back and correct these things.

My hope is that I will in turn inspire someone else to write down there great stories, and that some will enjoy the Red Earth Saga. More to come later, and I hope you like it.
