| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Creative Pen podcast. I'm Joanna Penn, thriller author and creative entrepreneur, |
| 0:09.0 | bringing you interviews, inspiration and information on writing, publishing options and marketing ideas for your book. |
| 0:17.0 | You can find the episode show notes, your free author blueprint and lots more information at |
| 0:23.0 | TheCreativepen.com. And that's Penn with a double N. And here's the show. |
| 0:31.1 | Hello, creatives. I'm Joanna Penn. And this is episode number 660 of the podcast podcast and it is Thursday the 8th of December |
| 0:39.5 | 2022 as I record this. |
| 0:43.0 | In today's show, I'm talking to Charlene Putney, who is a writer and co-creator of |

| 1:53.8 | And lots of you have emailed to say you've tried it and you're loving it and you like, even if you're not using it for writing, you're doing book descriptions |
| 2:02.3 | and sales copy and emails for work and other things like that. To add to some of the examples |
| 2:08.3 | I gave in the previous show, Klaus Moller said, I've been playing around with this amazing tool |
| 2:13.9 | and have discovered that it works just as well in my native language, Danish, |
| 2:18.3 | as it does in English. It translates well from English to Danish as well. So if you're not |
