    Fabulous episode as always!
    Where can I find that Crazy Train/Let It Go mashup? It’s so good!

    That was a great interview! I’m going to check out that book.
    Kevin, I think ‘Neck Romancy’ is not only a great pun, but you could really have something there genre-wise. VE Schwab’s latest book might fit that bill.
    And like Belle’ comment above, I also want to know about that cover version at the end of the episode — I liked it quite a bit.

    Hello!
    I am a French vocal coach from Paris, France and I listen to each and every Writer’s Ink episode. Loved this one that made me think we have to find our one process for structure (like JT with her 40 scenes). I was surprised by the song at the end. The voice moved me and I went to look for it on the internet. Thanks to the lyrics, I found out it was an Ozzy song but could not find this beautiful piano cover. I see others wonder where they can listen to it. Could you please refer to it in a future episode? In the meantime, I’ve saved the episode so I can listen back. Thanks for your work! 🙂
