Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

William Gibson Stops BloggingIt looks like William Gibson is off the blogosphere, returning to his "day job", writing fiction. It seems he's decided that blogging interferes with his writing. I've been battling that concept for some time now, too. (Well, not exactly battling--pondering, perhaps--in any case, the thought has crossed my mind.) I'm not the world's most prolific writer, finding it difficult to find the time to write a grocery list, much less write a novel--so I've wondered how professional (read: paid) authors find the time to disengage themselves from their blogging rituals in order to produce their works. Mr. Gibson provides one answer, comparing the struggle between keeping up his blog and writing his fiction as akin to "a kettle failing to boil because the lid's been left off". Not very productive, indeed.
So are the bloggers who are hoping to become published novelists simply prolific pipe dreamers? Maybe, if you take it from one famous author-turned-blogger-turned-author-again. But it's still early in this blogging game, in my opinion, and maybe there will be a breed of authors who find themselves able to engage in both activities successfully. Time will only tell, unless you're of Gibson's mind. And I wouldn't blame you--he has always been a fairly accurate foreteller.
