Episode 100: Celebrate and Reflect

Notes:

The Verbivore mentioned that she recently discovered she is dyspraxic (and fantastic!). :-) I share my experience hoping to normalize talking about cognitive differences and to encourage anyone with similar fears of making mistakes while speaking - both in public and social settings. If you want to learn more about dyspraxia, here is some information:

Fable references a recent episode from writing coach Ann Kroeker’s podcast. That episode is:

Fable referenced the quote “I don't know what I think until I write it down”. That quote is attributed to Joan Didion.

The Verbivore references an Oscar Wilde line and she was right the second time that it was from An Ideal Husband. Here is the line:

Lord Caversham:
Do you always understand everything you say?

Lord Arthur Goring:
Yes... if I listen attentively.
