Remember, this is show is part 1 of a two part series, don’t miss out on the Wenches next show which will cover a more general form of editing your novel.

I sure hope your listeners enjoy the podcast even a tenth as much as I enjoyed being with you, Bre and Tami. It was an absolute blast (I trust that came through, no?)!

And thanks Lauren! I am so happy you enjoyed the show and the music.
We picked that out so many moons ago, that when I heard it I actually squealed.

Um… thanks for all the mentions, gals and guy! *flushes, stammers, and generally reacts like a fool to all the attention*
Um…
Very fun show! Was a pleasure to listen, as always, and the “walking disco balls” comment had me in stitches. *giggles* Kes, you were okay too. *grins and hugs*
Well, one thing is for sure, I will have to keep writing the prompts as a consistent story now. Randomness ahoy!
