| 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 |

| 0:31.9 | Hello creatives. I'm Joanna Penn. And this is episode number 689 of the podcast, and it is Friday the 28th of April, |
