Logorrhea as Told Through Appoggiatura

Part of the fun of putting together Logorrhea was seeing what the authors did with the words. While I have no favorites (that's like picking your favorite child!) Jeff VanderMeer's "Appoggiatura" was something else altogether. Not only did Jeff have his own word to write about (appoggiatura) he incorporated all the other words that the other contributors had written about.

At one time, Jeff had mentioned the idea of recording each section as a podcast. And I also thought it would be great to incorporate the rest of the contributors and come full circle. The contributors are going to post the section of Jeff's story that features the word they wrote about. In addition, they'll talk a little bit about why they chose their word. See below for links. Jason Erik Lundberg graciously provided his time and talents to record the podcasts for us, and they sound great.

Even if you can't make it to the sites to read about the creative process the contributors went through, you should listen to the podcasts. They are well worth your time.
