Women and Words Overview 22-27 April 2018
Andi and Jove have reasons that birds might be a**holes. Also, life is messy, and author Cindy Rizzo brings up some really good points with regard to that and romance plots. Plus, Andi is having an existential crisis but encourages all of you to go see author Renée Bess’ definition for “troll farm” regardless.
22 April: Author Cindy Rizzo stopped by to talk about romance plots and the formulas that drive them and how people might react to atypical plots and characters and what that means.

Go see.
