Just wanted to know if the December 3rd walk was uploaded by mistake.
The Dec. 13th walk *is* there – the link is wrong for some reason. Copy the URL off and change the last 03 to 13 to get the right episode.
Should be fixed, altho you may need to refresh your feed.
The silly thing picked up an earlier December date even tho I keyed over it. :/
Listened while doing some mindless work in Minecraft–got half way or more through the wrong episode!
I am usually very good at seeing another person’s opinion even if I don’t agree with it, but I am unable to do so with many of comments on Quarter Share (some of which you mentioned). Sure, the big ones make sense (genre complaints, etc.), but I feel as though a lot of people just can’t see beyond the exact words written on a page to extrapolate any other information about a book (setting, motivations, etc.).
If you use iTunes, it won’t pick up the new file automatically. 🙁
What you need to do is delete the old “Day 261” from iTunes, then right-click #tommw, select “Update podcast”, right-click #tommw again, select “Show all available episodes” and then click “Get” or “Get all”. Then, the right file will download.
(To clarify, I mean to say that just refreshing in iTunes doesn’t work in this case. Silly iTunes.)
Congratulations on Ravenwood getting picked up by the YA book club. Although it doesn’t have YA characters, it seems like a good choice. It’s a good adventure, the sex and violence are quite modest, and it gives a realistic view of life from the perspective of an older person, as well as a woman’s perspective. These are (nearly) all the same reasons I think South Coast would also be a good YA choice.
I like what Tony says about people not being able to see beyond the just words. You have seen me, Nathan, and you might have guessed that my height has been something of a pain to live with.
This is probably why Brillo is one of my favorite characters. When she has her little speech wirh Ish about being tall since the age of 10, I just want to hold her… and you for giving her such words. 😉
Have you known a very tall woman ? Because you really nailed her character and the reaction of people around her !
I should not click on the “post comment” before rereading ! lol
The first paragraph should have read like such : I like what Tony says about people not being able to see beyond the just words. Words are tools to give life to images not the life itself.
Why should your worlds have the same norms we have on earth ? The height you gave your characters, even if you say you botched them, have always been an important feature to me. Because they set something in place that’s important.
