Woods is also the author of a popular blog, A View from the Podium, which has been featured in Gramophone Magazine and commented on by the music and arts critics of The New Yorker, the Wall Street Journal, The Independent and many other leading publications. In this blog he sited often sources for his inspiration sometimes well outside of the musical world, as it was for photographs of Russian photographer Alexey Titarenko, that influenced his interpretation of Dmitri Shostakovich's 7th Symphony. Future projects include a series of audio podcasts, and his first commercial CDs, to be recorded in the summer of 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words writer and and/or writer:
“Of course I’m a black writer.... I’m not just a black writer, but categories like black writer, woman writer and Latin American writer aren’t marginal anymore. We have to acknowledge that the thing we call “literature” is more pluralistic now, just as society ought to be. The melting pot never worked. We ought to be able to accept on equal terms everybody from the Hassidim to Walter Lippmann, from the Rastafarians to Ralph Bunche.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
