Nice to be referred to, John.

And also good to see that you haven’t lost the knowledge of what you’re doing in your own work. And revision is the bar. Mr (Dr?) Scott reminds me of…the gentleman in the light blue tutu? At the Witers’ Atelier. Chuck? Dammit! It’s too soon after Christmas…

But Mr (Count?) Scott is interesting enough to persuade me to buy his book. Yet another purchase of something I would never have bought without this podcast.

Well done 🙂
