[...] Emma Newman contacted me the other day. She remembered I had mentioned some difficult times and wondered if I was doing okay. That might not sound too interesting, but let me put this into context: I’ve never met Emma and had only exchanged a few blog comments with her. She was just being human and wondered how another human happened to be doing. [...]

I am making my way slowly through your old blog posts, and without even reading/listening to your podcasts yet, I can tell you are one hell of a writer. Blowing a kiss to your ego.

@ Tony – I’ve seen that concern pop up a few times and one response in particular I liked (of course I can’t remember who it was, sorry!) which was: obscurity is more dangerous than a concern over audio rights. As far as I am concerned, I retain all the rights, so there is no worry about other people quibbling over the audio if a contract came up. I plan to aproach Podiobooks soon, and I still retain the rights if I do that too.

@Hi Terry, welcome to my place! Graham is a treasure isn’t he?

@Heather – Thanks for dropping by, and I agree, it has to stay fun – there are no other rewards!

@Phil – This was a big surprise! Yes, I will be in touch as soon as life calms a little, a huge amount has been happening as you can see So chuffed to hear that you like the podcasts so far.

@Steve – That makes me extraordinarily happy.

I was going to wait the obligatory 7 years, honest I was, then found you here and thought “Oh hell, four will have to do.”
Just thought I’d let you know, I have so enjoyed the first two podcasts and look forward to the rest of the story. Having experienced your story-telling in the past, in one form or another, well – it’s exciting to know you’re doing this, no – really it is!
Give me a shout, if you feel the urge… numbers have changed, email’s the same as ever. If not don’t worry, I’ll just savour what will be the first of many stories from you I’ sure.
Hugs to all, take care, remember to have some fun – and oh yeah, I always have the kettle on…
Phil

As they say, there’s more than one way to skin a cat. And the important thing is, which it sounds like you’ve noticed, is that it remains fun for you.

Good luck on your podcasting endeavor — it sounds like you’re heading in the right direction.

Emma, you write very movingly and I feel privileged to share a few moments with you. I love the imag of the steeple chase 9as well as the run aound for obstacles). I'm a mate of Graham's and found you from his site. I look forward to sharing some more time with you. terry terry’s last blog post..People Watching Stories

I'm with you, Emma. I think it's great that the podcast is letting you fall in love with the work again. May the comments on them droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven. A technical question, though: will posting of a public podcast reading of the book complicate the acquisition rights for whatever publisher eventually buys the book?
