## Resource

In this week's episode, literary luminaries Steve Diamond and Larry Correia unravel prose's purpose in an attempt to illuminate its role as both muse and mirror. They delve into its alchemy, transforming thought into beauty and emotion into art, guiding writers to wield their words as both brushstrokes and blades, crafting worlds that shimmer with meaning and truth. If you would like to join the ranks of our supporters, we appreciate it! However, Anchor (now Spotify for Podcasters) has decided that listener support is overrated and they've done away with it. Maybe if you see us in person you can buy us a delicious taco. ___________________ This week's episode is sponsored by Spearman Burke's *Giant Counting Robots* available on Amazon: https://a.co/d/coPeBez (affiliate link) ___________________ "Word Mercenaries" (the WriterDojo theme) is by Craig Nybo https://craignybo.com/
