Summary

New York Times bestselling author Peggy Rowe is at it again—this time giving a hilarious inside look at her writing career. She has been writing all her adult life. In fact, she doesn’t know how not to write—even through those years of constant rejection from publishing houses. But between her tenacity and the encouragement of her family, Peggy’s breakthrough finally came at the tender age of 80. Vacuuming in the Nude is most likely her funniest prose to date as she shares her journey of attending myriad writers’ conferences and honing her ability to see humor in everyday situations.

0:00.0	Well, you did it again. You found yourself another bonus episode of the way I heard it.
0:08.2	This is episode number 277, otherwise known as chapters five and six of my mom's book,
0:14.7	vacuuming in the nude. Chuck is joining me here long distance, although he doesn't have
0:19.8	his proper microphone. So he's going to sound even tinier and more girly than usual.
0:24.6	How are you, Chuck?
0:25.6	I'm really great, my car is going to go on. Come on. No, just can't be that bad. No, it's not that bad.
0:32.0	Yeah, just flying blind here. Happy Friday, everybody, unless of course you're listening to this on a
0:37.6	Saturday or some other day. All I know for sure is this is going up on a Friday. And we are so excited.
0:43.7	You're turning my mom into a rock star. Thank you to everyone. Yes, I've received your notes on
0:48.9	Facebook clamoring for the next series of chapters. So we're, yeah, I guess this is a series of
0:55.0	chapters. We're doing two at a time. We're not quite at the halfway mark. And I don't know, Chuck,
1:01.2	I don't want to overstate it, but is this whole little experiment officially a bonafide success?
1:06.7	I don't want to overstate it either, but I do believe it is the greatest podcast series of books
1:14.9	on tape ever. Honestly, God, with a mouthful of marbles and sentiments like that, it really does
1:20.3	make me sad that she don't have a good microphone. So people could just hang on to it.
1:24.4	So they're really picking this up. The people are digging it. Friends, my mom and I have both
1:31.0	received many of your questions on Facebook asking for more details. And if I had it to do over again,
1:37.9	I sit down after each of these and debrief my mom. Oh, God, that sounds awful. By debrief my mom,
1:45.2	you know what I mean. I don't know. That's even worse.
1:49.0	You would talk to your mom. Just talk to your mom. Let's leave my mother's briefs out of it.
1:56.3	My mother and I would talk about the chapter you just heard. But I don't want to do that because I
