Don't worry all, I will be back in some shape or other. Scott, San: No pod-fading here, merely pod-transmognafication. Dawn: Hiya! Had a chance to look at that nano novel of yours since Nov? Heather: I was thinking along similar lines myself... great minds.... Oh, and as if any future interview could top ours ;) Hehe. Don’t worry all, I will be back in some shape or other.

Did I cause you to throw in the towel, or did you decide that our chat just couldn't be topped? On a more serious note, I am looking forward to hearing more of Shattered Empires (thanks for the sneak peek). Alternating chapters of that with occassional interviews may be a nice balance and give you some breathing room on both projects--or drive you crazy. Good luck!

One thing I would like to see on your new website would be a listing of all of the different teas you have tried so far along with a short commentary on what you thought and where they could be purchased. Purhaps you could do a one to five star kind of thing. If you can get really fancy it would be very cool if listeners that also tried the teas could leave their rating and critiques of the teas as well. I just listened to this podcaster and the one in front of it back to back and was delighted to see the interview with Heather Ruolo. I actually only live about 30 minutes south of her and hope someday to meet her in person. I have also enjoyed her story a lot. Best of luck in your change over to the new hosting! Hi Stephen,

I'm know the 1st draft is a bit rubbish, so I'll be reading a chapter every week or two. Doing a bit of a directors commentary and stuff and getting listener feedback. Have a few ideas for ways to make it fun. Hope to get it started in January. Well the group effort editing idea will be going ahead.

There's been a huge fire in a builidng just a few doors down from where we live. Luckily nobody has been injured, but all the apartments had to be evacuated for all of Friday night. He's back home now and there's been no major damage to our place, but the internet is down. So to cut a long story short, there probably won't be an episode this week, but there will be an official update as soon as Stephen can get to a net cafe. Also, Congrats to all who made it to 50,000 words! Suzanne. Hi all,

I'm doing it this year too! This is my second year to participate, but last year I only hit the 47k mark. This year I'm already at 31,605 as of this note. I plan on finishing in the next day or so. Have you tried ®evolution brand teas? I've found that I'm liking most of those that I've tried. They have a lovely Earl Grey & Lavender, and their Dragon Eye Oolong is pretty good as well. I realize you've probably got quite a bit of tea to get through before you try something new, so I'll not offer more suggestions. Congratulations on NaNoWriMo! I’m doing it this year too!
