Hello Listeners,
I know a lot of you are checking in on this site and U&F.com daily to see if there's any word of Episode 37, so I thought I'd best let you know why it's taking so long. Basically, I have to work at my day job, and that means I have very little time for writing. Here's a picture taken of me and a recent class ...
That's me in front.
I work on the episode (text - yes, I'm still only on the text) for about 45 minutes in the mornings, but then I have to begin to prepare for my classes. I teach till 6, then I get the train home. By the time my wife and I have cooked and eaten dinner, the day's gone. I get to work on it for hours at the weekend, but it's a very big chapter - almost 20 pages - and so it's taking a lot of editing. Once the editing is done, I'll record it and get it online. It'll either be one big episode (probably movie-length) or two episodes of about 40-45 mins each.
I had hoped that sales of my eBook, Hall of Mirrors Vol.1, would be enough to make it possible for me to leave paid employment and work full time as a writer. However, so far only 1% of the U&F audience have bought the book, so I'm not able to retire from the day job just yet. I've also had to put the price of the book up to $2.99 - I figure if people aren't going to buy it for a buck, they aren't going to buy it for $2.99 either - and I read that $2.99 is a good price to set your book as it because sometimes if a book is too cheap, new readers will think it's probably crap and ignore it. But hey, it works out a dollar / pound / euro a story, so it's still a fair price.
Needless to say, U&F 37 is coming and will be with you as soon as possible. Don't check in every day though, it won't be anytime this week. Check back in 7 days, hopefully by then I'll have better news.
One day I'll be able to make money at this game, but until then - as always - I thank you for your patience.
