  • #41 - Tropes
    In this episode, we discuss tropes we love, tropes we don't love, and how tropes are useful in our own writing. Also, apologies for the sound of Vicki's chair throughout the episode - she'll be finding a new place to sit for the next one (which will hopefully go up in a more timely manner too!) Links:
