Hey @notquitewrite.com can't you just release the podcast in Canada today? It's cold up here and we're lonely! C'mon eh? A little bonus for Canadian listeners? A little advantage of a few days, hmm? Since your podcast started, there's been less fights in hockey ... could be Ed's soothing voice ☺️

I know @akscotland.bsky.social and @quitewriteed.bsky.social over at @notquitewrite.com probably spend a lot of time sitting in their bathtubs full of money wondering if they are making a difference. You've definitely helped this writer. All my short stories have scored better due to your podcast.

Sometimes you wonder if a book is a "fit" for you, but then you see this review and think, "How can I go wrong? At least I can re-use the paper."
