I'm a writer and theatre director living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada Wanted to say that it was nice to hear you ask Cory some questions a bit different from the type that he tends to normally get asked, though I would say the 'funny' questions or the 'what's your favorite...' questions are less useful to your listeners, compared to questions that pertain more to the actual craft of writing. I'd say almost half the interview consisted of somewhat silly questions. It's possible that the lighter tone is a part of your overall theme and tone (I've only listened to Episode Nine) but my own preferences are towards serious conversations. My completely unsolicited suggestion? Get to the meat more quickly, and stay there! One other quick note, I got a bit lost in the story review/synopsis section. There is a tendency to switch from reviewing the story and reading an excerpt without warning; it might be worth addressing that. Anyway, I'm glad to see another podcast out there looking at the writing craft, particularly short stories! Hey there guys,

So, how about the modern, micro-fiction terms: "twabble" (at most 100 characters, not including spaces - coined by "the Drabblecast"), "ficlet" (1,024 characters, including spaces, exactly), "drabble" (100 words - general use term). :) Yours, Sylvan (Dave) So, I like the definitions of word counts you provided.
