hello writers and podcasters or wannabes or whoever i've got a new challenge this week i'm really excited about it now look if i don't get anybody else involved it'll just be me sometimes i'm enough who knows and there's a builder next door so i apologize for that they're banging around in the studio next door um now uh the challenge is to write 60-second love stories how exciting these little uh stories are so good to get the juices rolling because they if you've got a bit of writer's block they quite often kick start a whole idea a whole fantasy a whole uh mills and boone's type um you know story that you this 60 seconds wasn't enough it needed
expanding on so it's really good for that if you've got a bit of writer's block but it's also just really good for people to listen to they're driving in that car and they've just got a few minutes perhaps you know what i'll do is i'll put them all one after the other so they will automatically play but you need to introduce yourself at the beginning you don't include that in your 60 seconds so introduce yourself give your website um and don't go on just just the once you know um and name it and then read so the reading bit of the text the the juicy bit needs to be under a minute long okay i mean i've been thinking of these all day and i i've thought of a few that are even less um love stories in one sentence so you can do all of those as well for this
um for this project and then um at the end just uh again don't don't plug too many websites people turn off people turn off but you can at the end say your name perhaps it depends what you said at the beginning but do you see that's that's the best way to do it we don't want to put people off i mean the librivox ones drive me insane because they go on and on and on at the beginning you have to fast forward i was like yes yes yes yes yes it's okay on a big story isn't it on a big a novel to introduce it in that way but when you're um you know doing something for 60 seconds everyone doesn't want to be talking more because you're plugging your websites um however if you've got a little introduction about yourself which is of interest like you know i'm such and such from such and such um anything anyone but you know i'm
from chicago or i'm from illinois or you know wherever you're from i'm i'm a homeless person um in in africa you know whatever wherever it comes from and if you know somebody who could be involved but they don't have the phone to record it on perhaps you could go to them and you could say could you record your story collaboration you know the tale teller club is always up for as many collaborations as possible actually collaboration makes the world go around and collaborative storytelling makes it go around in a slightly more interesting way i think you're never quite sure what's going to happen or occur so um if you can muster up the energy to do that on your phone it's really quick recording on your phone it's not much out of
your life is it and because it's going in the adult podcast it can be um gory horrific sexual um no hate stuff please don't do that obviously um what else don't i accept probably misogyny's out the window i mean misogyny is a difficult one isn't it because even contemporary writers write in a misogynistic way but certainly the last century i mean because i've got these archives at the telltale club some of it's just totally shocking but i still play them but they're in context you see so if if you're reading something that isn't yours but it's historical and it fits the brief we'll understand that but you would say at the beginning uh it was written in 17 whatever i mean i was listening to the sonnets shakespeare's sonnets they're so sexist it's like totally drives me mad whenever i...
