I really enjoyed your new podcast. It was different and easy listening. I want to listen some more. I'll look out for that movie with Feminist features. Speaking of feminism I just finished a novel that is in a rough draft stage and thinking about and looking over my story I think my main character is a feminist, so my thoughts are is the Women strong because she was given the strength by an other Women and can the main character have a strong sexual desire with a male character and have time to be strong. I think I'm doing right somewhere. The feminism thing might be just part of the story and since I am a guy can I write and say it's feminism or do I have to be a woman writer? I will put my rough draft of a novel on top of a pile of other rough drafts of stories and novels I've written and needs editing. I know about your master classes you teach. I listen in on the editing class last year. Keep producing more podcasts about what you want. I'll listen. Live long and be kind.
I love that it was easy on your ears! That is such a big part of making something listenable. “Shayda” is great, I hope it comes to your town soon. I think writers can do and say *anything* when they have the grace and craft and poetics to pull it off! ;-) Your characters will encompass all that’s inside of us. Thank you for toasting me, and yes, I’ll keep on keeping on . . .
Great debut! How much 'horror' is in this horror story? I really can't handle the blood and gore movies, or unbearable tension (I go to bed alone most nights and that's when it all comes back to me. And I've always had a little trouble separating fantasy from reality...) On another note, when I came out as bisexual in the 70s, sure there was the flip-flop thing but even more censorious was the accusation of what we would call today cultural appropriation. As in, "You just want all the goodies of being part of lesbian culture without having to sacrifice your heterosexual privilege. If things get too hot for you, you just go running back to your guy." It was intimidating, in part because it cut close to the bone. But for a long time I slept with both men and women but just didn't talk about it much.
Celia, I didn’t know this about your history… yeah, I remember that era too. I found the types you said that crap ended up being married to men for years and denying their lesbian past entirely. HA. When you yearn for women, you yearn for women. Period. There’s nothing you can do about it. Of course, people lie. But sex doesn’t lie. Which I find comforting.
As for horror, no, I don’t mean like drive in horror movies. You’ll like it. Think “Oscar nominee, Foreign division.” The poetry of the movie is beautiful.
Couple questions for all you close podcast followers: Do you like having a transcript? It’s not like it’s a “smooth read” — what do people use it for? I’m curious.

Oh my, thanks for the chuckles!
