Writing Excuses is a short podcast (tagline: “15 minutes long, because you’re in a hurry, and we’re not that smart!”) about writing fiction, with a focus on spec fiction (sci-fi and fantasy, though much of it applies to other kinds of fiction and other kinds of writing). The 3 hosts are Brandon Sanderson, Howard Taylor, and Dan Wells.
I started listening because it had Brandon on it, but the fun, brief episodes were so interesting and encouraging that I’ve continued. In fact partly because of the podcast, I’ve actually become a writer now. I’ve started working on my own fiction for the first time since childhood.
Recommended episodes to try:

I just did some Christmas shopping at Booktopia. Supported some authors I like and saved some money.
I got another one of those free shipping codes – you are welcome to use it, but it expires Monday:
Simply place an order before midnight on Monday 8th November, 2010 (AEST) with the promotion code below and you will receive free shipping on your order. The promotion code can be used as many times as you, or your family and friends, want on any orders between now and then.
Type the word SUPERB in the promotion code field when you checkout. (Codes are entered with your payment options at the end of the checkout process, make sure you click the word “Apply” next to the field to apply the discount).
