Author, Podcaster, and Programmer
Brand Gamblin is currently editing Invito Rex and podcasting it in episodes. Here is the latest: Chapter 13
Here we are, coming up on 8PM EST, and I’ve only done one of the two chapters. I’m pretty far behind, and I’ll have to hustle to catch up. I have one hour to record, and some of that will have to go to editing the second chapter. This kind of underestimation may just cost me the race, but we’ll have to see.
Hit my first stumbling block. Dinner. Pizza just got here, so I’m scarfing it down and hoping it doesn’t slow my progress too much. I think I’m about halfway through the first of two chapters. 7:16PM . . . 45 minutes remaining.
So here was my idea. I’ve made a lot of podcast episodes (still in the double digits, I think, but definitely high double digits), so I know the process. Working on 1884, the process worked something like this:
One hour for editing the text. I’ve already written the book, so editing the text is basically just going through two chapters and trying to eliminate bad writing. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll likely make another pass or two through it before it goes to print, but I’m podcasting the version that I have on hand. So, the least I can do is make sure the grammar is good, the pacing is solid, I don’t use the same word twice in a sentence, etc.
