CC and I are deep into our “It’s 6:30 Somewhere” project where we write for thirty minutes every day. My work in progress (WIP) involves a side trip to Las Vegas. Having lived in the Silver State for most of my life, it was pretty easy to pop out the below during tonight’s session. TheContinue reading “Grumpy Old Nevadan”

Podcast: Mind the Gap!
We recorded this episode on the shores of the Pacific Ocean in beautiful Fort Bragg, California. So what did we talk about? Perhaps the most iconic, romantic form of transportation: the train! The Iron Horse is not only a major piece of American history, it continues to move millions of people every day around theContinue reading “Podcast: Mind the Gap!”
Book Ideas
Welcome back to the Carson-Hume blog where “two hearts share one brain cell.” I am today’s host: JT Hume. You’re reading my second or third writer-centric blog which is a blessing for me today. After twelve hours with the relations (fun but tiring), you get an updated rerun. There are few easy chores when writingContinue reading “Book Ideas”
Cover Charge
Welcome back. The carsonhume.com blog is my fourth major blog (aside from Tumblr and Blogger and such), and the common thread between all was writing. I shared my positive and negative experiences as much as I could, and thanks to the Internet Archive, I found old posts that can get recycled and reposted here. OneContinue reading “Cover Charge”
Podcast: A Writer’s Ear
The one where we talk about JT’s cochlear implant and how deafness affected his writing. We discuss how CC was JT’s beard during his deaf years, and we talk about the deaf culture. We send out an update our respective WIP’s (spoiler: they’re crap) and give the weekly smoke report. Edit: Here’s a PDF transcriptContinue reading “Podcast: A Writer’s Ear”
HW: Random Worlds
Writers aren’t crazy.We just make up random worlds.Normal people don’t. The eternal question: did I think hard about this poem when I wrote it or did I mail it in? And the answer is: I actually thought about this. In our podcast about writer’s responsibilities, CC touched on artistic temperament, the cliche that describes theContinue reading “HW: Random Worlds”
Are You British?

The Citizen Writer
In CC’s and my weekly podcast for writers, we talked about if a writer has a responsibility to be an engaged community citizen, and we got into the pros and cons of putting ourselves out there in the “real world,” so to speak. Social Media (SM) gives us both a pathway into the debate ofContinue reading “The Citizen Writer”
Podcast: A Writer’s Voice
The one where we discuss writer engagement in social media debates. Does the writer have the responsibility and duty to engage? CC and I are at opposite ends of this discussion, and we explain why we do and do not get involved in social media conversations. Related: what are the risks and benefits? Shorter: anyContinue reading “Podcast: A Writer’s Voice”
HW: Mozart Laughs
The quartet begins.They must play the exact score.Who is playing Whom? This is my version of the famous “Ship of Theseus Paradox,” which I lovingly call “Mozart Laughs,” but one thing at a time. The “Ship of Theseus Paradox” dates back to Plato and Heraclitus, and simply put, is a debate on whether a shipContinue reading “HW: Mozart Laughs”
