Homicide at Heavensgate: Episode 1 - Out now!
https://t.co/yiUx3N38Gh
'Former cop turned private detective Bianca Buchannan gets an unexpected phone call, takes a new case, and finds all is not well in the gates of heaven.'
Art is craft first. Crafts can be learned. Some learn fast, some slow. Many who could learn give up. Innate giftedness matters, but "her work ethic and perseverance were amazing" tells the tale. This is why some artists/musicians/writers hate it when you tell them they're "so gifted" or "a genius," and will say, "Nah, I just work hard." You think they're being humble. They're being real, and if they're annoyed by what you intended as a compliment, it's because they think you're discounting the work, as if all their mastery just got plopped into their laps unearned. They've seen those vanishingly rare cases and know they're not that guy. This is why a Billy Joel, with decades of success and many hits, will say, "As a musician, I'm merely competent." The artist in the anecdote also kept trying, which gave her many chances to get lucky. That matters too.
We don't enter the same show to the same festival in years we didn't release an episode (maybe we should, but it feels wrong), but I did enter Homicide in the Colorado Webfest because it was new and we wanted to support it. Imagine our surprise to see that win get us tied for 45!

Over 3 years ago @0xteknogeek and I started @ctbbpodcast and were struggling to keep up with all the editing, admin tasks, etc to sustainably run a good podcast.
Then, we made the best decision ever and hired @SentinelStories - Richard Mills - to produce the pod.
It was really fun to take a little break on Suicide in Santa Fe to reflect on the making of Homicide! It really puts the whole production process into perspective.
