0:00.0	Hi, everyone and welcome to Bad on Paper podcast. Who are you? Oh, I'm Olivia Mentor. Do I usually,
0:24.2	sometimes like my brain is short circuits and I don't do a thing that we always do and this was one of
0:29.6	those times. But I am Olivia Mentor. And I'm Becca Freeman. And today is our book club episode for
0:35.1	August. We are discussing The Night and the Moth by Rachel Gilling.
0:39.5	Ooh, I just looked out of the window and it, no, it was a gigantic bolt of lightning. It's
0:44.2	extremely rainy and dark. So I think it fits the vibe. I agree. I think that feels very

1:49.1	Okay.
1:49.4	I won every six months.
1:51.1	And I was just looking at like where I started the journal.

1:57.2	I had 12,404 words of the first draft.
2:01.9	Now I have 45,000.
2:03.9	So I feel like that's not bad.
2:05.2	No, that's definitely not the goal I had.
2:07.0	But I just love being able to go back and see the progress and where my mind was through all of the different steps.
