I like this video blogging thing. It’s like doing an interview, but with questions and/or subjects that I choose to discuss. Here’s a long-winded rumination on writing, and what it takes to be a writer. If I had a way to edit out all of the uhs and ahs and ahems and such, we might have shaved off three or four of the segments, but then the Ninth Day of Christmas wouldn’t have been nine segments long, and how sad would that be?

After I wrestle with the definition of who is and isn’t qualified to consider himself a writer, and throw in some advice in dealing with writer’s block along the way, we have just enough room left for a word or two on the specific challenges of writing superheroes well. I hope you enjoy.
