Thank you!

I read Grey online as well, and I’m glad to find a new author to enjoy. That’s the best thing about the Campbell nominations, I think. Finding new writers.

You have a wonderful voice, Mary.

I had the pleasure of reading ‘Grey’ a few months ago, back when it was first offered online in March. The story is thoroughly enjoyable. It was a pleasure to listen to you both.

Yeah. That goes with the whole advice about never apologizing for your mistakes BEFORE you start.

I think both you and Jon did a great job, and I don’t think I’d have actually paid much attention to any of your umms if you hadn’t mentioned them.

Plus it was interesting enough that I actually listened to the whole interview, which I almost never do.

Darn. I didn’t see the “like” before…

Bow to me, like a vassal.

I meant that figuratively.

I didn’t really hear an ummms. =) Fantastic podcast Mary!

Clearly, you never met my speech coach. I use to compete in a couple of impromptu events.

But that is for prepared speeches. Completely different. She would understand.

I hope you enjoy. It’s got a story in it that I normally only tell in bars at cons.

Bow to me, vassal.

My college speech coach would be horrified. She worked so hard to train ums and ers out of me.

You are like the podcasting queen!

You were fine. I don’t think you said “um” too much. At least I didn’t notice it. The Snow White story was particularly funny. I would have died laughing too.

The Lanchpad workshop sounds really neat. Please post a very detailed account of that. I wish I was going!
