Yes! Back to basics. Even though I’ve been listening since show #1 I’d actually love it if you revisited many old topics. I think you’re added experience and perspective would give old topics (basics) new life. Kinda like ISBW 2.0! And I have to believe that new listeners would love it as well instead of having to hit the archive.

Hi, Mur,
Thanks very much for the link to my “Why aren’t you writing?” quiz. :o)

Thanks Mur, great episode. I am nearly to the point inn my writing where I may be ready to start submitting stories soon, so this was very helpful. I’ll have to track down a past episode on novel submissions now.
Keep up the good work. I’m just now getting around to listening to Earth so I can prepare myself for Wasteland.
