For the Samhain, 2008, part two episode, a section of The House of Pendragon by IWG author Debra Kemp was read. Upon hearing the broadcast Debra said, "The entire show is wonderful.  Lovely music!  But one part in particular, starting at around the 7 minute mark particularly made me cry.  What a moment to hear my characters brought to life and hear Dafydd's name pronounced correctly!"

"Writing Progress is Defined by...."


IWG members answer this perplexing question....

Writing progress is defined by the number of soul wrenching moments you agonize over your work, and the amount of joy filled accolades when your work is accepted.
