This week we have hopeless romantic, H.L. (Heidi) Burke on the show. She's totally obsessed with dragons, but we know a few people who also are, so we won't hold it against her.

In episode 73:

• We discuss the Eros & Psyche myth again (see Laura VAB's recent episode for more E&P!) as H.L.'s book, Coiled, is based on the myth.
• Heidi's desire to go "aww" while writing.
• How we have to release our books to the world and they become a part of the world instead of ours.
• Myths are out of copyright—we can plagiarize them!
• Can snakes get sea sick?
• Star Trek rants!
• Re-reading on Goodreads
• Myers Briggs analysis of characters
