I really enjoyed this podcast Kimberly, as you suspected. :) I really get the idea of weighing down writing with expectation and this is an idea I've been playing with a lot lately - what would I write if I could make it all expectation free? Jeff was delightful to listen to as well - lots of wisdom! Maree
