Jan, I listened to the Between the Covers podcast episode you mentioned on my walk today and WOW! What a profoundly interesting and inspiring discussion, it's made me think very differently about how I'm structuring my novel. I have been trying to apply the hero's journey to my main character and was a bit dismayed that it wasn't working. Now I have greater insight into why! Thank you for sharing xx

So so glad to hear this, Philippa! You know, I do like THJ for what it is, but it can be very confining. How wonderful that the episode helped you see other ways to engage with your own work. It inspired me, too!

The decision to write a book- it's inspiring me in every sense of the word and keeping me up at night!
