Different strokes for different folks, certainly, but 15 of the straight stuff without a lot of rambling or INFODUMP is great! :) We're writers, we're communicators. Sometimes I do wish they were a bit longer only b/c I think they're on such a roll or the topic is so interesting I want the infodump. FYI: I write romance and these guys epic fantasy, horror (-ish?) and web comics. Broad writing techniques transcend genre. Do yourself a favor and listen to these guys!

So, what do you have against Linux? No three way fights? Just kidding. I love that YouTube video entitled "South Park Mac vs. PC vs. Linux". This is my first visit to your blog and I like it as well as the lifehack.org site. Kind Regards... Hi Dustin, thank you kindly for your detailed explanation and I agree with you.

I want to make sure that people with more delicate sensibilities than you and I can consider themselves adequately informed before they click through to Marina's website -- which prominently features several pics of Marina in bathing suits and other scanty outfits. I aim to make this site amenable to writers of all sorts, including those whose personal politics I might not agree with -- consider the writer of Christian educational materials or the minister looking for tools to help organize his or her sermons, for example.

I was rather fascinated by your use of the words "risqué", "weird" and "deeply offensive" with respect to HotForWords. I consider my values and social behavior to be conservative, but would never use those words to describe Marina. The closest word I might think of is "titillating" (sorry for the non-intended pun), but even that word I would never use. I have watched all of the 200+ videos that Marina has done and have followed her work since early last year. A description I would use for Marina, HotForWords is classy, witty and intelligently sexy. She has a natural easy going friendly engaging style and smile that radiates a wonderful glow and that's what I see. Hi Dustin,

I've learned about a lot of great authors from your interviews (like Christopher Moore, which was one of the best author interviews I've heard) and not a little about the writing biz. Like I said in the comments above, I'm starting to find it hard to take your less positive remarks about yourself and your work very seriously, because you've enjoyed so much success and are obviously good at what you do, but other than that, ISBW is the model I wish more podcasters would follow.
