The following is an archive podcast presented by the Brinson and Hudson Foundation for Podcast Recovery.

This podcast is entitled, Nanorimo. It is the first and only episode of the podcast. Welcome to episode one.

Hey, everyone. My name is Rich Felch, and welcome to hashtag Nanoramo. I think that's how that's pronounced anyway. A podcast dedicated to providing

inspiration, insight, and tips to help you finish your first novel. It's a big deal, guys.

I am joined by my two close friends. And first, but not least, is my friend G.H.J. Pemberbrook, say hi, G.H.J.

Good to be here, Rich. You know, I'm amazed that I got a minute away from my manuscript, you know.

We're getting toward the end of this month. I've just been writing and writing.

Oh, same here. I'm sure, you know, as we all have, it's almost a welcome respite.

And to the left right here is a close friend of mine and a huge inspiration, Colin Knightwood.

So say hi, Colin.

Well, Rich, the feeling is mutual with you and GHJ.

You guys are always encouraging me with my writing and I find it very refreshing at times.

I think this is the only time any of us write anytime throughout the year.

Just like this podcast, it probably be once a year, you know, being National Novel Writers Month and everything.

And I'm excited to actually, you know, dust off the dust, get off the rust and crack my knuckles and start writing some stuff.

Get the dust off that dust.

Last year's dust has been replaced by this year's dust, and we are all hovering over our computers,

ready to hopefully make the, you know, the next Faulkner, the next J.K. Rowling, the next, you know, great character

like Lee Child or Jack Reacher. We're all out there. We're all ambitious. And it's been, you know,

I've been having a lot of fun this year. You know, you guys have been working hard. You guys

been having fun on this? I certainly have. Go ahead, GHJ.

Oh, it's just real touch and go.
