Summary: After a stupid debacle wherein Google shit itself and made our usual Google Hangouts On Air impossible, we had to postpone the guest we had scheduled until next week. We'd planned to have Lindsay Buroker on, but all we did today was to waste her time. Sorry, Lindsay! Because we didn't have other plans in place, we answered voicemails and live questions. Here are a few of them: • What's our opinion of mind-mapping software Scapple? • How do you avoid genre cliches when writing in a genre? • Is it possible to self-publish games via self-pub platforms? • Are we planning to publish ongoing updates to our self publishing book Write. Publish. Repeat. as the indie publishing landscape changes? And lastly, we took a voicemail from Demelza, who had such a wonderful down-under accent that we missed her question. It had something about publishing episodes versus full seasons. This show's transcript is available in full below the video, provided by our sponsor CaptionAccess. If you do any multimedia work at all, you need to be providing transcripts or captioning. Even setting aside the search engine benefits of transcripts, the deaf and hard of hearing market is huge, and almost nobody is serving them. Does that sound like an opportunity to anyone, in addition to making you a generally cool person or company?
