This is K.M. Wyland, and you're listening to the 73rd episode of the Word Play Podcast.

It's been a good week for writing around here.

After struggling through some difficult scenes in my work and progress, the deepest breath, I hit

a groove and sailed through some relatively easy and very fun writing sessions.

I'm sailing along with the climax in view.

I also got hit with the possible kernel of a new story idea, something decidedly historical,

with perhaps some fantasy elements

thrown in. So I'm riding the inspiration high on double fronts right now and

trying to milk the buds for all its worth and make it last as long as

possible. The November issue of my e letter hit inboxes last week. It included the usual

round-up of inspirational quotes, creativity jump starters, and helpful links, as well as the

article, Watch Out for for slang overkill.
