A SPECIAL episode this time! For a couple of reasons.   First, I interviewed one of our very own Fiction Family--Cheyenne Bramwell has been a Patron for a long time. She's is so supportive online and, more importantly, a hell of a poet. She talks about her speech impediment and how it has impacted her throughout life. She also discusses how writing has helped her. Warning: there is a brief mention of abuse and PTSD in this episode.   Also, for the first time ever, Patrons will be gett MORE Horrible Writing content than the public. From this episode forward, when I do interviews, I'll have a "getting to know you segment" with the interviewee. I'll ask them fun questions about the real "them" no one else will hear. It's my way of thanking the Horrible Writing Patrons (a growing group of my Patrons) for your support.   You can find Cheyenne's poetry at https://poemafterpoem.weebly.com/ Or on Twitter.   Please rate the show if you enjoy it and share it with your writer friends. That would be a massive help.   You can also become a Patron, help me reach new goals  & create even more content!   Enjoy the very open interview!   Cheers, Paul
