I love your podcast, it is one of my top 5. I’d like to know what your top podcasts are, especially related to writing? I’d also be interested in where you think the self-publishing industry is headed in the next five to ten years. I’d also be interested in how you develop characters at the very beginning from the first germination of the idea to build up to a fully formed character, the protagonist and the supporting characters? Thank you for what you do!
