With the impending release of Diary of a Mad Writer Year 1, Episode 9, Allison will be leaving the show, and the format that you've grown used to will change. There will be less of a focus on the things that inspire to me to write, and more of a focus on what I'm writing, including information about my novel series.

It means that the website will be changing, as well. As much as I like the weathered page look, it's time to clean it up. In preparation for the relaunch of the show starting in early November, we will be redoing the website. New color scheme, new graphics, and possibly new writing categories will find their way onto these pages.

It doesn't end there: the show will have a fresh new look, as well! We've learned a lot while putting together what you know as Diary of a Mad Writer, and we want to use our new found knowledge to deliver something more in line with what you expect from the best of internet shows. The show will be shorter in length with a slant towards writing resources, writing news, and what I'm doing with my writing. It should be more timely, as well, with topics that are more relevant to all writers, and not just genre writers.

Diary of a Mad Writer Year 1, Episode 9 will be up in an hour or so, with the iTunes link going active sometime later.
