This episode talks a little bit about my writing, when I started writing, where I am now, and a little insight to writing a synopsis and the best way to query a literary agent.

Side Note: When I said I do not edit my stories and rewrite the entire thing, what I means is I do not add anything to the story to make it longer. I edit my stories a bazillion times before I am comfortable starting the query process. Also, you might notice that my voice changes inflection a lot in this episode. This is because my toddler kept waking up from her nap too early, so I had to pause and come back. My voice changes a lot when I talk/record after a break, so please know that I am not am not an imposter. :)

In this episode I talk about how Korean Beauty, or K-beauty has helped reduce my acne and oiliness. I also talk about brands I have used in the past, what products I'm currently using, and for people unfamiliar with K-beauty, I talk about the 10-step process and how it works. 

I did have a bit of a scratchy voice last week, so I apologize for the late episode!

In this episode I speak briefly about getting into writing as a hobby as well as learning how to seek traditional publication. Over time I have lost focus with painting, knitting, and video gaming because of lifestyle changes, but I have a new interest in podcasting as well as my continuing interest in voice acting/overs. After recording this episode I was cast as a voice over for an audiobook role! More details on that later!

I was also unsure how loud my audio playback was, so I have amplified my audio to a more comfortable level. The level of audio in this episode will be the norm for subsequent episodes. I hope this helps anyone that had trouble hearing my previous episodes.  

Fact or Vocab of the episode.

Anyone ever had a awkward experience that left you embarrassed for days? Have you ever pronounced a word incorrectly in front of class, because I have? What are your favorite television shows and why? Have you ever joined a group that you instantly regretted whether it was in person or over social media?

I would love for my listeners to learn who I am. First impressions are everything so I am showing you my authentic self, as quickly as possible. This is a short trailer because with subsequent episodes I will reveal myself more as time passes. Interests that I have mentioned in this trailer will definitely be reiterated in later episodes.
