This is KAM Island and you are listening to the 151 episode of the word play podcast.

With the arrival of my editor's notes on Dreamlander, I was juggling three riding projects

there for a bit and three is one too many for me.

I managed to finish up storming character sketches this week

and I put it aside for the moment

until I can finish this round of edits on the deepest breath.

It gives my brain a little more time to stew before I dive into the deepest breath. Gives my brain a little more time to stew

before I dive into the actual outline.

So it's been a flurry of editing around here.

Papers flying, ink plots everywhere.

Yep, a writer lives here.

The July issue of my eletter hit inboxes last week.

It included the usual roundup of inspirational quotes,

creativity jump starters, and helpful links, as well as the article,

why your story must make good on its threats, and my response to a subscriber's question

about finding beta readers.

If you're not receiving the e-letter and would like to, you can sign up for my mailing list on my website at K M

Wyland, that's W-E-I-L-A-N-D. com slash mailing-list dot PhD.

You can read back issues online at K-M-Y-L-L-E-letter- Issues dot P-P-P. A quickde against that. The latest post in the video series on my blog

discusses a needless filler word and how we can identify it and stamp it out. To watch it, visit my blog at wordplay-KM-Yland. blogspot.com.

New videos are posted every Wednesday.

And now I hope you enjoyed this week's podcast.
