    Episode 20! That went by quick. I thought maybe I should go a little insular and figure out who I am, what I want to do, and what this podcast could be. And a friend sent me to a website with an online self-evaluation test. So here we go. Let's figure out, once and for all, who the flip is Luke Kondor. Also, Hawk & Cleaver is now on Facebook. We're going to be giving away free stuff, writing articles, and launching cleavers on this mailing list:  Hawk & Cleaver Mailing List Check out the previous 7-Day Story Challenges at Lukekondor.com E-mail me at lukeofkondor@me.com  Join the e-mail list.

    Hawk & Cleaver is our new story studio. We just made it up. And now it's a thing. That's how the world works apparently. A small collective of likeminded storytellers aiming to reach new audiences, tell cool stories, and own pet hawks. Our thinking behind it is "a rising tide raises all ships" just like a backed up toilet raises all ... erm ... So to make the most of this launch we're releasing four new books!

    Meet my friend and fellow story-person, Matt 'Skip' Butcher. It took him several years to write his first short story, six months to write the next, and now he's got to write another one in seven days. I think I have more confidence in him than he does in himself. I really hope that the challenge shows him that he can crank out the words in this time when he wants to. ALSO. We're launching our Story Production Studio -- HAWK & CLEAVER.
