I loved this session
Dear Sacha, I just discovered your podcast this week, and am loving it. I didn’t realize it, but a podcast where the host is comfy dropping the F-bomb is what I was waiting for. I also love that your guests are full of practical insights. I’m particularly impressed with this interview with Kristina Stanley, which included the head-slapping moment where I realized I’d done exactly what she said not to do — namely, I tried to combine structural and copyediting on my own work in progress.
So, congratulations, and look after yourself! Don’t burn out on us. Get out of the house; take some time off.
All the best,
Andy Park
Thank you so much Andy, I love that you love the podcast AND the cheeky language 😀 I am wishing you all the best with the edits 😀
