My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The
Captain's Log, Stardate 10.14.2009
I listen to a lot of podcasts, mostly about knitting.
(Actually, if anyone knows of good romance novel podcasts, leave a comment to let me know the title so I can subscribe! I already subscribe to Romance Radio.)
I don’t know why I like them so much. Maybe because they’re relaxing to listen to. I haven’t tried listening to them as I run, but maybe I’ll do that next. I do enjoy listening to podcasts while knitting (even if the podcast is not about knitting).
So how about you guys? Do you listen to podcasts?
Also, I’ve been thinking of doing a podcast myself. My problem is that I really don’t know what I’d talk about. I don’t want it to be entirely about me or my books, and I don’t want it to be a how-to writing podcast (I’ve got my Story Sensei blog for that), nor a how-to knitting podcast (there are tons of those already). I would certainly be happy to talk a bit about me, my books, writing, and knitting (as well as my dog), but I don’t want to talk only about those things. Plus that just seems kind of ego centric to me.
So what in the world would I talk about?
Do you guys have any thoughts? For or against a Camy podcast? If you’re for it, what would you want me to talk about?
Oh, and I’m only thinking of a 15-20 minute podcast, nothing very long.

Steph--great advice! I'll do it! You're right, it's like blogging, you just start doing it and then fall into a particular theme.
But really, you just be you! Take Steph's advice, people will listen to your podcast just because they enjoy you and what you have to say.

Rebecca--actually, I can do interviews with other authors now b/c I can record phone conversations with Skype. Thanks!

Sorry I'm not very creative...I have no idea what you should do your podcast on, but I definitely think you should do one. If you are just yourself....people will be lining up to subscribe! You're such a cool person...let me know when it starts *wink*

Maybe just about your life and what's going on with your life. Sort of like an open diary. You could include like a mini devotion to encourage people during the week/day.
