53:04In this episode we are celebrating friendship by talking about how to write with your BFF and still manage NOT to kill each other! We also share scenes we wrote using the other's writing style. This time we did TWO words! Impignorate - to pawn of MORTGAGE something. Petrichor - a distinctive scent, usually described as earthy, pleasant, or sweet, produced by rainfall on very dry ground. Haiku We sit and we write. The silence is comfortable For us two old friends. -Andrea Sixteen years, they though Gazing at the starlit sky. What an adventure! -April Contact us!

Literally, we just plot a book live. Disclaimer: We state that you can plot a book in an hour, and we attempted to such in this episode. However! We had no pre-existing characters or even a vague idea of what this book will be about. Essentially, we started from scratch. So, naturally, it took us roughly 2 hours (which is still pretty good, if we say so ourselves!) Word of the week: per·spi·ca·cious having a ready insight into and understanding of things. Haiku: Steaming tea sloshes As it's poured from pot to pot By the toil-worn hands. -April My cold hands are warmed From the cozy coffee cup The tears, subsiding -Andrea Intro sound effects used with permission from freesound.org and provided by: fellwell5, kgatto, inspectorj, stubb, stu556 Intro piano music composed by Andrea M Grafton…
