Rachel Aaron is a fantasy & science fiction author who has also found success with non fiction. 
She wrote the The Legend of Eli Monpress fantasy series for Orbit Books.
She is also the author of the Paradox Science Fiction trilogy under the name Rachel Bach.
Rachel is well known to the self publishing community due to her non fiction title, 2k to 10k: Writing Fast, Writing Better, and Writing More of What You Love. 2 to 10k is one of the most talked about books for helping you make better use of your time, and putting out product.
Rachel has also recently started publishing her fiction under her own name. We’ll talk to Rachel about writing for a big publisher, transitioning to being an independent author. We’ll also discuss how she found success with both fiction & non fiction, as well as any updated tips she might have for fans of 2 to 10k.

Phurst.
I loved 2K to 10K!
I’m really excited to get to talk to Rachel on a few subjects. Most of all her thoughts on designing the perfect first line/hook. When I first read the opening line of the first Eli Monpress my head exploded. It’s amazing, I may fanboy out about it on the show. If you are a fan of fantasy (or writing in general) I suggest you check it out. Such a great hook. Forces you to go… huh? and keep reading.
Like last week, any Romance Divas mentions on the show, or in this chat requires you to drink.
I think we levelled out around 10 mentions last time. That’s a lot of shots.
It’s a GOOD one.
Carl Sinclair I think your audience would be drunk many shows, don’t you?
crissymoss Carl Sinclair I think a good percentage of them already are! 🙂
Hi. be right back…
Carl Sinclair I don’t think Rachel’s a Diva, so you might be safe this week. 😛
Carl Sinclair BRING THE WHISKEY! Oh, thank you…
*Sllllllides in*
Oh, hai thar, lovely people.
T-shirt of the day: “I am silently correcting your grammar.” Hee.
RolandDenzel Well, NOW we’re cursed. Again. Google+ is like Voldemort–you can’t bring attention to the evil, else it attacks,
Hello everyone and happy SPRT day.
writerwade HI!!! Happy SPRTing. 😀
The must feed hungry indie shit monster shirt is on and ready to go.
writerwade Yay, it’s SPRT day! *finds a comfy spot on the Romance Divas couch* Now.. who wants a drink?
ElianneAdams writerwade MEE!!!
kevinmichael3 I almost got one today that said “If you were in my novel, I would have killed you off by now.”
Hello all! I finally made it to a live show!
S.M. Butler ElianneAdams writerwade Weee.. one of my favorite mentors is here.
ElianneAdams writerwade Romance Divas! *shot*
ElianneAdams writerwade <3 You’re so sweet.
predisastered?
Since we’re waiting…how’s everyone’s writing going? Or is that a loaded question? 😀
CateMorgan kevinmichael3 boom.
Okay if you refresh your browser the video link should be up above.
CateMorgan loving the crickets
CateMorgan kevinmichael3 that sounds like an awesome shirt. Did you see it online?
Always late. My fault.
CateMorgan 60K into WIP currently. Home stretch time
Ronny Khuri CateMorgan Aren’t they spectacular? Way to clear a room, Author. That question just wasn’t loaded, it was apparently DOUBLE BARRELLED.
TuckerAuthor CateMorgan Woo, nice! How much further to go?
CateMorgan I’m still trying to find writing time this week – it’s been a pretty crazy one. But when I’m just down to Friday afternoon….I wonder if what I’ll write will be crazier.
I’m finishing my 4th novel waiting for my 1st to edited. Editing time is insane 4weeks at least.
Evening all.
Demelza Carlton CateMorgan There’s only one way to find out…
CateMorgan TuckerAuthor about that much { } lol, I’m guessing 10k
DawnThorpYurkas The longer the better, I’d say. Unless you’re paying by the hour 😛
CateMorgan Demelza Carlton Yeah, but it’ll have to wait until after the podcast and my daughter’s sports day.
Ronny Khuri DawnThorpYurkas I can’t complain I’m just read to get my Indie groove on
DawnThorpYurkas Ronny Khuri Haha, right on!
DawnThorpYurkas Yeah, for a first book it takes three times as long to edit as it did to write. I’m working on a 1:1 ratio now, though…
If you haven’t had a chance to read Rachel Aaron’s blog, you need to. Lots of great writing advice.
CateMorgan Ronny Khuri I’ve had dates absolutely ruined when the lady asked me how my writing was going
AJ Vale Hey AJ. 🙂 I might just have to do that. I need all the inspiration I can get right about now.
Demelza Carlton DawnThorpYurkas Listening, writing, and learning. The podcasts on here are invaluable.
DawnThorpYurkas With my traditional publisher, it’s SIX MONTHS before release for round one. Just returned revisions on Book 3 of my flagship series to Editor Awesome last week. It will probably be another couple of months before the next round.
Meanwhile, in Indieland, I’ve completed two novellas in the same time period and started a third, so,..,..
ElianneAdams AJ Vale I spent the last few days going through her blog. Tons of great stuff. I’m hooked.
Welcome back to the live comments for Ari and Nic my Mythbuilders Podcast co hosts.. been a long time folks.
5,4,3,2,1
CateMorgan DawnThorpYurkas It’s good to hear you can be an Indie and sell in Trad Pub.
Carl Sinclair Sneaky plug for your mistress show, carl…O-o
kevinmichael3 Woohoo!!!
Hello my lovelies! KAHLER you there?
Is there a popout for the video or chat?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R044sleOW6I
overlord kahler is here?
PatrickStemp hi Patrick
kevinmichael3 he’s probably skulking and plotting the shows demise
DawnThorpYurkas CateMorgan Yeah, I’m lucky my pub was one of the ones who jumped on the eBook bandwagon on the ground floor, so were already well ahead of the curve of other houses. Their model is pretty much now the standard for Indie publishing, and they were doing it years ago, making waves. They’re pretty awesome.
kevinmichael3 yes he said so.
Carl Sinclair kevinmichael3 he lies though.
DawnThorpYurkas I keep two windows open. One for commenting, and the other to watch.
CateMorgan DawnThorpYurkas who do you is the pub co?
ElianneAdams S.M. Butler writerwade Suzan rocks!
DawnThorpYurkas CateMorgan Samhain Publishing. I got in on an anthology, and that started my flagship series.
That is a really exciting story! Hi everybody : )
michelleread Hey, lovely!
michelleread hey michelle : )
S.M. Butler michelleread Hey beautiful! Can I have one cookie please?
Carl Sinclair michelleread Hi Carl – it’s finally time for the show I’ve been waiting for! Excited to be here.
michelleread I’ll give you one because I’m in a good mood. But did we get our words today?
S.M. Butler michelleread Well…..I think I earned one for the whole week. Does that answer your question? I did mostly editing this week.
michelleread Hey Michelle!
PatrickStemp michelleread Hi Patrick!
Hey guys!
michelleread LOL. Okay. Editing is hard works.
That is awesome. I’m writing a series and think the 3rd book and the 4th I’m working on is way better than the first two.
crissymoss Hi Crissy : )
I love this line and they’re gonna read it!
Yes! What is this dang line he keeps talking about!
michelleread YES!
thank god for trish
I’m waiting to carve it into my skin!… GO!
What? Well…. Damn.
Who else wants to read this book now?
AriLessiers hahaha amen
crissymoss hey crissy
BLOOD COVERS THE MAC. BLOOD COVERS THE SOUL. I AM WHOLE.
Rachel please keep talking forever……
Carl Sinclair I had to come because of the whole 2k to 10 k thing… I also bought the book today cause it’s 99 cents.
crissymoss I did immediately.
michelleread That’s what I was thinking when I read her blog this week. I kept saying please let there be another page. lol
Don’t like to be depressed? What the shit? BLASPHEMY!
CateMorgan DawnThorpYurkas Very popular publishing company, do they make their authors titles available on amazon etc?
AJ Vale michelleread There should never be a good place for your reader to put the book down. Can she just like, fill in the gaps of mine please?
Is the video running smooth for all of you?
writerwade meh
DawnThorpYurkas CateMorgan Yep, all the venues, plus their own store. And I heart my editor, who supported my indie pubbing a companion series of novelettes. (Book 1 came out REALLY over edited, so I had to fill in the back story.) But then I got a new editor, and she is verily awesome.
writerwade only mild blips. It’s not bad at all.
omg, i LOVE the new covers. thats the first thing i saw
crissymoss Hey Crissy!
writerwade Mostly, yes.
I’d love to hear about writing fast–loved the 2k to 10k book!
StephanieQueen we’re getting there.
StephanieQueen Yes we’re patiently waiting for her to nerd it up…….but I love this part too!!
writerwade about half the time
LOL, she even uses the same picture on both accounts. So funny. There is no way to not know they are the same lady.
Hey SPRT….this is my official thank you for having her on.
StephanieQueen We’ll be touching on the productivity in a bit
2k to 10k reference… here we go…
Oh, yes–love that she’s talking about the Great Genre Debate. I feel precisely the same way. 🙂
CateMorgan I have a very hard time sticking to one thing as well.
We’ve adjusted bandwidths, hopefully the streaming is better.
CateMorgan I’ve missed the past 10 min..ugh had to take a child to work.
Can you update me quick?
Carl Sinclair squee!
TuckerAuthor CateMorgan I actually found out that I work better if I allow myself to go work on something else for a couple hours, or even a day. It gives me a break for the thing that is driving me nuts, and when I go back to the main project I feel refreshed and can write a lot more. The trick is to set a limit on how much you do that.
Gahh……she said data. Nerd is happy.
michelleread Not to be mistaken with the android Data.
Mimi Werebeaver Carl Sinclair Mimi maybe we can get her to say spreadsheets….
michelleread You’re adorkable.
michelleread Mimi Werebeaver Carl Sinclair mmmm dynamic chartzzzz
DawnThorpYurkas CateMorgan She talked about her Nice Dragon and Fortune not fitting into a specific genre, and how that turned her on to self pub. You should be able to watch the whole thing once the video posts tomorrow.
S.M. Butler michelleread she really is adorkable.
crissymoss michelleread Also makes nerd happy : )
S.M. Butler michelleread (She bows like a lady) Thank you very much.
CateMorgan DawnThorpYurkas or listen on iTunes.
I’ve can write 2-5K a day IF people leave me alone LOL
kevinmichael3 I feel a bit guilty listening to this podcast considering I’ve written zero today…
DawnThorpYurkas I upped to around 3k an hour after reading it. I’ve actually cut myself back to around 1500 an hour, writing cleaner and having less back end work. It’s still better than the 200 words an hour i was doing before.
DawnThorpYurkas I totally understand. If I try writing on the weekends its my husbands super power to notice and start a conversation with me.
Okay. I’m buying 2k to 10k right now!
Carl Sinclair michelleread She cracks me up and makes me smile like, all the time.
So true. I keep telling myself that I will PLAN more for my next book. It has yet to happen unfortunately 🙁
carlafreddwrites Will rock your world.
i read it when it first came out. it is the best investment for any writer ever ever ever. no exaggeration, i hate books on writing and stuff usually. but it is amazeballs
S.M. Butler Carl Sinclair michelleread Mwuah!
Is Kevin imprisoned in Dave’s basement again?
rdavis DawnThorpYurkas my husband really wants me to work on my writing I do not have a day job anymore, then things everyone in the house is excited about it but carving out the time waiting on a family is difficult.
YES! Exactly. The more you love it the easier it is to write.
carlafreddwrites So good.
CateMorgan His slave
“You can’t stop yourself from making mistakes…….” Thank you for saying that : )
DawnThorpYurkas Good luck with the getting peace and quiet.
Carl Sinclair DawnThorpYurkas I’m writing cleaner than I did when I started. My first novel I wrote 111K words in three weeks. Then spent a month re-writing it. So yes..I think it is better to have clear line of thought on what you want to write. I’m a terrible pantster. I rarely outline.
writerwade CateMorgan Dear Lord, he’s not in one of those zipper suits, is he? o.O
CateMorgan or is his beard OUT OF CONTROL
CateMorgan it does seem to be getting darker and darker wherever Kevin is. Soon it’ll just be black box whenever he talks.
If you are so inclined.. could you do a quick click on this link and give the video a thumbs up (and maybe share it somewhere?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnqkgE6cK68
rdavis CateMorgan He always turns into a black box. It’s a thing.
rdavis CateMorgan Sundown. He doesn’t have lightbulbs in his house.
Music drowns out the sounds of my children. Must have (but must be instrumental only.)
I need white noise or music I think that is from working years in a mall next to an arcade.
I really love the “Free Pink Noise” on youtube that lasts nine hours if I need to write a ton. I literally forget to breathe because I’m writing so quickly when I listen to it.
crissymoss I almost always listen to Foo Fighters Greatest Hits when writing. Other than fight scenes.
Carl Sinclair Will do, sir.
Carl Sinclair done
Carl Sinclair rdavis CateMorgan Ah, the nice men in the white suits took them away, did they?
Carl Sinclair crissymoss I just type in “Chillstep” in youtube and listen to that.
Carl Sinclair Did it.
Carl Sinclair YouTube has yet to connect my old account with Google 🙁
Carl Sinclair Done.
Carl Sinclair CateMorgan maybe that should be a Christmas present. boxes full of lightbulbs.
Carl Sinclair crissymoss I know several people who play this while writing…..including myself sometimes….good choice!
Carl Sinclair crissymoss Nickleback or Meatloaf..yeah I know weird but it works
SHE SAID SPREADSHEET!!
Trish would be a good director of anything, troops, office workers. So good at getting back to the information. 🙂
michelleread Oh no she didn’t!!!
DawnThorpYurkas Agreed – she keeps it moving forward : )
DawnThorpYurkas michelleread And then and THEN! She said she organizes them. Gurrrrr.
michelleread meoooowwwww!
DawnThorpYurkas Trish is the General
Is anyone else not a nerdy techie? I have found editors, cover artists, and formatters. Seriously I read the how to format book to get my novel to smashwords and I cried cause I couldn’t get it.
michelleread I am missing sometime about the spreadsheets… Inside joke?
DawnThorpYurkas Formatting is the worst part for me. I hate it. And I wouldn’t do my own covers. Does that help?!
michelleread DawnThorpYurkas Horrors…I’ll have nightmares.
crissymoss michelleread I didn’t know everyone liked them….I mentioned it last week I think and apparently there are fellow nerdies about.
When I write I turn off fb, twitter, and just leave on pandora.
I turned on a light just for you viewers. Now you can see my homeless beard.
Carl Sinclair DawnThorpYurkas yup, someones got to whip them into shape
I use “Focus Me” on my PC, but it’s also buggy. It does work, though.
DawnThorpYurkas Nothing wrong with hiring out
Oh, hell. She just said enthusiasm is needed. *packs up lunch; goes home*
Question for Rachel …What platform is she using to write on? Apple? WIN? Linux?
kevinmichael3 writing isn’t paying the bills?
DawnThorpYurkas I use Scrivener’s full screen mode.
Do you ever just get tired of looking at the book? I’ve been working on this book since last October so I just get really tired of looking at it.
Mimi Werebeaver Derrrrrnit.
Mimi Werebeaver howdy werebeaver
Which, of course, makes me think I need to work faster to begin with so I don’t spend too much time on one project.
crissymoss 18 months. Yes… yes I do.
Who has some more questions for Rachel?
My taste…oh no!!
Carl Sinclair Is there an audio version of her nonfiction awesomesauce?
michelleread DawnThorpYurkas I picked a cover image, it’s pretty hot, then my beta reader said my novel was like Law & Order meets Dallas with hot sex. So I’m lost at how to cover image that genre because it is not “romance” but it’s not “mystery” either
Carl Sinclair I think it would be cool to hear it when I need inspiration or focus.
Any tips for brainstorming ideas before you outline?
Delete? EVER? Hell fucking no! I have writing from when I was a teenager that is f*ing bad, but I can’t throw it away.
DawnThorpYurkas michelleread A picture of grumpy cat maybe? In a suit? With a gavel?
Carl Sinclair Mimi Werebeaver I’ve told so many lies today about my word count.
SHE SAID WORLD OF WARCRAFT!!!!!!
How detailed does she outline at the beginning of a project? Or does the detail come in her day to day prep work?
World of Warcraft. lol My baby is named after my old character and a book.
michelleread DawnThorpYurkas I’m going with hot guy in a suit with a gun so far..I’ve got to find a cover artist that can create what I see.
TuckerAuthor Good question.
anyone for a WoW Writers’ Guild?
My husband is actually raiding on WOW right now.
michelleread Oh I LOVE my spreadsheet. I have a few showing my daily word counts, my word counts for everything I’ve written (in the last three years) and it totals up my published words etc. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
DawnThorpYurkas michelleread I’m sure you have, but have you perused stock images to get close? Then hire someone for fidgeting with it? Might save money and time.
Microsoft Office has lots of bugs. We still buy it.
what is blizzard? like snowstorms?
oh its a game thing. never mind
I don’t love Blizzards $15 monthly subscription. That’s what finally broke my WoW addiction.
michelleread crissymoss Did someone mention spreadsheets?
crissymoss michelleread !!!!!
AriLessiers
WoW, D3, Hearthstone … yeah. 🙂
michelleread DawnThorpYurkas I was a bookseller for 30 yrs. I’m all about the cover, it’s the key to getting the story read by a reader. I am really tuned into the reader’s viewpoint.
TuckerAuthor Hearthstone is my lovely thing. I love it love it love it.
WoW man.. I literally spent an entire year of my life (over 6 years) playing WoW. 365+ days. Ouch.
DawnThorpYurkas michelleread Have you tried some crayons and free handing it?
crissymoss Yep. That’s how i broke mine too. Stupid cash flow issues….
crissymoss I didn’t fancy dying of thirst. Which is why i quit. I stopped leaving the computer.
Plotting… *shudder*
michelleread Are we counting outbreaks of geek?
Ronny Khuri AriLessiers Now that is my kind of Blizzard
HA! I can’t play the same games as my husband. We don’t have the same play styles, and he likes to drive our play time to his agenda. Now we game together, but not the same games. Makes for a much more peaceful household.
DawnThorpYurkas michelleread ONLY kidding……
S.M. Butler oh shush you need at least a loose idea.
crissymoss michelleread DRINK!!
crissymoss michelleread Yes please. New drinking game.
Carl Sinclair TuckerAuthor *hangs head in shame* my main has a ridiculous amount of /time played
S.M. Butler crissymoss michelleread Hahaha I like the way you think!
I feel so old. I don’t outline, use spreadsheets, or play games. Pac-Man anyone?
DawnThorpYurkas my most-played game of 2014
Carl Sinclair Yeah. That’s true. I actually like figuring out plot things. I just like to do it while I’m writing…
CateMorgan My boyfriend doesn’t understand my gaming addiction. He rarely plays, I don’t play nearly as much as I want to, lol.
Ronny Khuri AriLessiers Snickers Blizzards for the win!
I wrote the end of my current WIP first..weird it just came to me how it should end.
Yes!
writerwade Ronny Khuri AriLessiers Did someone say Snickers?
S.M. Butler Carl Sinclair Right?? That’s so liberating.
DawnThorpYurkas Pac-Man video games are epic.
writerwade Ronny Khuri AriLessiers Just moved, and DQ is the only restaurant for like 10 miles #jesustakethewheel
DawnThorpYurkas I always write the final chapter first. It might not be the final chapter at the end, but it was when I started.
Carl Sinclair DawnThorpYurkas I think Pac Man will be in the new Smash Bros? 🙂
Carl Sinclair DawnThorpYurkas Good to know I’m not the only one.
ElianneAdams S.M. Butler Carl Sinclair I don’t stick to my outline. I just need some sort of idea what of it is I’m writing. I don’t like wasting time sitting around.
Carl Sinclair DawnThorpYurkas I do that! I also jump around all over the place, though.
crissymoss CateMorgan The D.S. also has a LOT more time to play, so he gets ahead of me a lot of the time. And I simply must write, so… I play for the stories and the world, but he likes to get as far ahead as possible, as fast as possible.
Carl Sinclair ElianneAdams I’m just impatient. I get an idea and I don’t stop to figure out things. I just jump in and run with it. Plotting ahead of time means I have to wait to write those first pages.
If they did 4 shots per mention they’d die of alcohol poisoning.
DRINK! TWICE!
S.M. Butler Carl Sinclair DawnThorpYurkas I write final chapter, then ch 1 to the end. I just need my finale done so I know where I’m writing too.
S.M. Butler Carl Sinclair DawnThorpYurkas I decided I want to put a bluegrass in the story for a funeral scene. That was two days of blog reading and research on putting lyrics in your stories. LOL A few stories I have “beat out” but they are stand alone not part of this series.
Awe Carl you do love us!
Romance Divas! *shot* Spreadsheets! *shot*
Carl Sinclair DawnThorpYurkas I often start with a random scene. It sometimes ends in the beginning, other times it ends up in the middle. Rarely the end.
CateMorgan I need more vodka…
Pants-pooping pitchfork camp?? I went there every summer.
I follow quite a few of you on fb and twitter
I’m @vapingwriter if you tag me I will follow you back. I just getting back to twitter.
spreadsheet!
CateMorgan Ya, writing is more important to me then the 300 steam games, lol. Slightly.
michelleread DRINK!
S.M. Butler CateMorgan Yoush can nevers has too mush vodska…*hic*
CateMorgan I just joined this forum. Totally jazzed, great info on there.My user name is Dawn
S.M. Butler michelleread Yes ma’am! I’m drinking a Purple Naked Juice tonight – it’s nearly gone now.
S.M. Butler CateMorgan Bourbon my go to
DawnThorpYurkas CateMorgan I just happen to have vodka. I’m out of moscato…
So if you have something interesting to say about KU and maybe want to share your own results…
http://selfpublishingroundtable.com/kindle-unlimited-tell-us-what-you-think/
I blogged about it just yesterday. Love to hear from you all.
crissymoss CateMorgan Right now I’m play thru Dragon Age to get ready for the new game coming out, but writing must come first. Plus, day job.
and because I’m so helpful. http://thisblogisaploy.blogspot.com/
S.M. Butler DawnThorpYurkas CateMorgan I have moscato..wonderful wine. I also like Scuppernog wines too.
Carl Sinclair You pretty much gave me my opinion of KU, can I just “second” whatever you wrote…
Carl Sinclair ElianneAdams S.M. Butler Don’t get me wrong, I’d LOVE to be a plotter. It just makes sense that it should work, but I get so hung up that I waste weeks to months trying to get the story written, only to delete numerous chapters and starting over.
Having said that, I did get the 2K to 10K book, have read it, and am trying to implement it. I guess we’ll see how it goes.
DawnThorpYurkas S.M. Butler CateMorgan I’m not usually a wine drinker. I’m more of a beer girl. But I love moscato.
michelleread S.M. Butler I would be having a nice drink but I have to drive in an hour a 40 mile round trip to pick up my son from work.
ElianneAdams Carl Sinclair I do the scene blocking thing she talks about every night. It really does help the next day.
DawnThorpYurkas michelleread Yikes!
DawnThorpYurkas michelleread S.M. Butler That’s why I’m drinking juice. I’d fall asleep if I drank anything else.
michelleread S.M. Butler Did someone say naked?
writerwade michelleread S.M. Butler Drink Wade!
I never liked borrow on Amazon.
DawnThorpYurkas I went mad with power as a reader with KU. Love it.
Anymore questions?
writerwade michelleread Wait… what?
I suppose one has to have sales in order for them to be cannibalized, huh? Summer has been unfriendly.
S.M. Butler writerwade michelleread Naked Juice, Suzan.
Rachel Aaron makes so much sense
writerwade She really does…this is a great interview.
Carl Sinclair DawnThorpYurkas I can see the benefit of KU as a reader. I’m still waiting to see and hear more thoughts from Indie’s on the author’s side.
TuckerAuthor I did a KDP select free give away and actually had a lot more sales then usual for the last couple months. Which isn’t saying a lot, but it was kind of awesome. I need to do it again I think.
Carl Sinclair DawnThorpYurkas You don’t have time to read all those books! Get to work writing!
Why do all these devices that have auto correct, actually turn correct words into incorrect words? Drives me insane.
crissymoss TuckerAuthor my big problem has been my new one taking too long to finish. Which is entirely my own fault.
Ronny Khuri writerwade AriLessiers this is why i dont live in america
Here is the Hugh Howey KU blog post
http://www.hughhowey.com/kindle-unlimited/
Thank you Trish!
SPREADSHEET! DRINK!!
<3 Divas 😀
S.M. Butler happens to be a spreadsheet peddler. on RD.
AriLessiers Ronny Khuri writerwade smart
Just want to point that we aren’t the ones that brought up Diva’s… this time.
S.M. Butler *guzzles straight from bottle*
Oh lord..I just joined Romance Divas. I don’t even know how to make a spreadsheet.
S.M. Butler I love Romance Divas. I’m a big lurker there 🙂
ElianneAdams Yes, yes I am.
Darn straight about sharing numbers! Seeing other people’s numbers was so great for motivating me!
carlafreddwrites I post entirely too much. LOL
CoraSeton Cora, how did you interview/chat go this evening?
S.M. Butler carlafreddwrites No you don’t. I love reading you posts.
You all cut out just as she was making that comment.
DawnThorpYurkas CoraSeton It went really well! A bit of a nailbiter that it was all going to work because it was the author’s first FB party, but it ended up okay!

When will you be posting the MP3? It’s now October 7th, and the last four episodes (64-67) do not have MP3s posted. I know you have a vibrant live audience, but I listen to these a week or two later while driving in my car. And now I’m all out of fresh SPuRT…
Thanks!
