Know a writer or someone who wants to be a writer? Then forward this post to them and invite them to listen to our writers podcast. Thank you!For Episode 222 of our award-winning podcast⁠, we dive into the dark recesses of some of the most important places for writers of historical fiction and fact-based historical fiction: the archives.This week, CC attended the annual Conference of Inter-Mountain Archivists (CIMA) in Boise, Idaho, where she networked with the guardians of records in repositories across the western United States. Archivists are librarians on Mountain Dew Plus because each and every one of them is passionate about the records on their shelves and in their files. For writers in particular, archivists are data experts, and they will bend over backwards to help their patrons access the records they need.Along with our trip to Boise, CC got to fan-girl and swing by Ontario, Oregon, the home of the Garden Answer. She's been watching Laura for many years and, in truth, served as a partial inspiration for our own podcast. We stopped by her parents' garden store, Andrews Seed Company, and got to meet Susan, Laura's mom, who was very patient and polite with two out-of-town rubes who had so many questions. Thank you, Susan!This week, we debut the Nevada Authors Network, our partnership with Sierra Arts Foundation to promote Northern Nevada writers. Join us weekly as we interview local authors about their books. The podcasts can be found on our main Two Moore Books website.We are featured on Susan Winters's "Create on the Side!" blog. Thank you for having us, Susan!Finally, if you want to meet us in person, we're doing book signings on June 28 at the Reno Barnes and Noble and on July 5 as part of Author's Day at Reno Art Town. We're excited about it!Included: we bring you up to speed on current events and we talk about our current writing projects.Check us out and let us know what you think. TIA!

Know a writer or someone who wants to be a writer? Then forward this post to them and invite them to listen to our writers podcast. Thank you!For Episode 221 of our award-winning podcast⁠, we take on Meta and discuss their “fair use” of seven million literary works to train their artificial intelligence system.For those untouched by the controversy, we referred Keziah Weir's excellent Vanity Fair article, “This Is How Meta AI Staffers Deemed More Than 7 Million Books to Have No “Economic Value” (link) and cite this paragraph as background:“Lawyers for Meta are indeed invoking that very “fair use” defense in a copyright suit that's been wending its way through the Northern District of California legal system for nearly two years. Richard Kadrey et al. v. Meta Platforms—and the reams of confidential Meta communications, newly in the public record as exhibits for the plaintiffs—offers an unprecedented look at the internal maneuverings behind the company's decision to train its model on a database containing more than 7 million pirated books.”As writers, CC and I have strong opinions about the subject, and we are in sync about how we came to this point, and we agree that the damage is done, and that “the horse has left the barn and it ain't coming back.” We have different and, I think, interesting opinions about the outcomes to this controversy.For our discussion, we pull in:-The Lord of the Rings,-Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon,-Thomas Edison,-Covenant (the movie),-John Steinbeck and Ernest Hemingway,-CC's professional and extensive experience on the “fair use” issue, and-Our short-lived use of Artificial Intelligence (not what you think).Aside from AI, we bring you up to speed on current events, including CIMA and our book signing on Saturday, and we talk about our current writing projects and how we're abused by our editors (no names mentioned)(kidding!).And we started a presale on Serving Salvation Book Two.Check us out and let us know what you think.

Know a writer or someone who wants to be a writer? Then forward this post to them and invite them to listen to our writers podcast. Thank you!For Episode 220 of our award-winning podcast⁠, we were busy and we are tired.We started the week on Sunday, April 13 with the book signing at the Nevada State Museum. We got to meet new friends and sell them our books. We got to chat with our fellow independent writers. We got to enjoy a beautiful spring day in a place that has so many memories for us. A great day.During the week, we organized the release of Serving Salvation Book Two, the next book in the Salvation series. We're put the manuscript and cover on some of the platforms, and we put the manuscript on Book Sirens. (Please let us know if you want to be an ARC reader.) We'll be doing a cover reveal soon, along with the pre-sale.Also this week, we learned that the Las Vegas Clark County Library System purchased our book catalogue. They are making our ebooks available for checkout. This is the second public library in Nevada to purchase our catalog, and it's the largest system in the state. If you are a patron of the Churchill County Library or the Clark County Library, please enjoy our ebooks through your Libby app for free!On Saturday, we recorded the first six podcasts for the Nevada Authors Network (NAN) at the Sierra Arts Foundation (SAF) Deport Art Gallery and Bookstore in Sparks. It was an absolute joy to talk about writing one-on-one with our colleagues, all of whom are very articulate and passionate about their books. You are our people. We will begin releasing the NAN podcasts and videos beginning on Wednesday, May 7, and our first guest will be Tia Flores, SAF program director. Tune in!We're getting ready for Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 26, because we have an independent bookstore. We are joining One More Chapter in their grand opening on the same day, along with many of our author colleagues, and doing a book signing. If you're in the area, stop by the Old Post Office next to the Pioneer Center in downtown Reno on Saturday, April 26 from 10:00am to 1:00pm. You'll get to meet us and a bunch of excellent writers as we support Independent Bookstores.You'll hear in the podcast that we believe in the Arts. We may have gotten carried away, but it's all good. You'll see. Check us out and let us know what you think. TIA!

Know a writer or someone who wants to be a writer? Then forward this post to them and invite them to listen to our writers podcast. Thank you!For Episode 219 of our award-winning podcast⁠, we believe in you, the independent writer.As we enter the final prep for our book signing at the Nevada State Museum, we're giving you (and us) a pep talk.When we started this full-time writing gig a year ago, we knew we'd be riding a roller coaster of feelings, expectations, and disappointment. But golly, what a ride, especially in the last six months. The economy has not been our friend, and we've had to scale back plans and dreams accordingly.Not scaled back: our belief in our colleagues and ourselves. April is Independent Writers Month, and more than ever, we need to pull together and lift each other up. This is one reason why we are partnering with the Sierra Arts Foundation. We hope to give indy writers another marketing platform to talk about themselves and their works.Streets and buildings make a town, but it's creative art that makes it a community, and writers are artists. Keep writing and keep believing in yourself. If you need strength, we're happy to share some of ours. You got this!Reminders:-We will be at the Nevada State Museum on Sunday, April 13 for a book signing. Please join us!-We will be recording a second podcast for the Nevada Authors Network on April 19 for release in May.-Prices are slashed on bookstore.

Know a writer or someone who wants to be a writer? Then forward this post to them and invite them to listen to our writers podcast. Thank you!For Episode 218 of our award-winning podcast⁠, we're all about baseball, and frankly, I'm surprised we don't talk more about baseball on our little writers podcast.We went to Game 3 of the Athletics home opener in West Sacramento, and we joined a few thousand of our close friends as they took on our Chicago Cubs. It was a three-day celebration of Rickey Henderson, the Man of Steal, whose accomplishments and personality transcended the sport. So much love for the Rickey!We have been true-blue Cubs fans since the 1980s. We talk about our own Northside experiences and our time in Sutter Health Field.It wasn't all baseball. We spent time with family and we visited the Capital Books in downtown Sacramento. We had fun talking about writing with folks who don't write (authors will get this).Important announcements:-We will be at the Nevada State Museum on Sunday, April 13 for a book signing. Please join us!-We will be recording a second podcast for the Nevada Authors Network on April 19 for release in May.-Prices are slashed on bookstore.

This week, we present two stories about confronting threats -- whether it's actual physical danger or a threat to your career. Part 1: Climate scientist Kim Cobb is exploring a cave in Borneo when rocks begin to fall. Part 2: Neurobiologist Lyl Tomlinson is startled when he's accused of stealing cocaine from his former lab. Kim Cobb is a researcher who uses corals and cave stalagmites to probe the mechanisms of past, present, and future climate change. Kim has sailed on multiple oceanographic cruises to the deep tropics and led caving expeditions to the rainforests of Borneo in support of her research. Kim has received numerous awards for her research, most notably a NSF CAREER Award in 2007, a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers in 2008, and the EGU Hans Oeschger Medal in 2020. She served as Lead Author for the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and as a member of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board under President Biden. As a mother to four, Kim is a strong advocate for women in science, and champions diversity and inclusion in all that she does. She is also devoted to the clear and frequent communication of climate change to the public through speaking engagements and social media. Lyl Tomlinson is a Brooklyn native and a post-doctoral researcher and program coordinator at Stony Brook University. He is also a science communication fanatic who often asks: “Would my grandma understand this?” Using this question as a guiding principle, he won the 2014 NASA FameLab science communication competition and became the International final runner-up. In addition to making complex information understandable, he has a growing interest in science policy. Lyl meets with government representatives to advocate for science related issues and regularly develops programs to tackle problems ranging from scientific workforce issues to the Opioid Epidemic. Outside of his work and career passions, he seems to harbor an odd obsession with sprinkles and is a (not so secret) comic book and anime nerd. Learn more about your ad choices.

Thank you!Two Moore Books, LLC does not receive financial compensation for promoting the below businesses and websites. We are speaking to our specific experiences. Your mileage may vary.In Episode 214 of our lovely award-winning podcast⁠, we had another great week with a lot of different moving parts:You can now find our books on the shelves at Thistle and Nightshade, a wonder little bookstore in Reno, Nevada. Our sincere appreciation to Alyx (pictured) and Rhiannon for adding us to their expansive and varied inventory. You can find Thistle and Nightside in northwest Reno off Mae Anne Avenue. Definitely worth your time!We announced at the last meeting of the Sierra Arts Literary Community that we are offering our podcast and video services to writers. We're partnering with the Sierra Arts Foundation (SAF) to release a weekly podcast and video featuring a Sierra Nevada writer and their upcoming book. We know from our experience that marketing is a steep climb for independent writers, so we're hoping our efforts with writers and the SAF will elevate the visibility of Northern Nevada's excellent writers. We hope to start in May.Happy birthday to CC's Dad and Happy Employee Appreciate Day (Friday), and a special hello to International Women's Day. CC joined 44 other powerful women gathered on the Women's Podcasting Network to discuss their individual podcasts and respective businesses. CC learned a lot about how women around the road are making a difference in the world (like her!).We participated in the Smashwords “25% off ebook sale” (our books always seem to be on sale), and we began the registration process for this year's Carson Farmers Market. And somehow we managed to advance our writing projects. CC is still untying the Gordian knot that is her VC Ghost romance, and I passed 40K words on the third book of the “Sheriff in Nevada” series.We rejiggered our production schedule because the CFO for Two Moore Books, LLC (who is me) got grouchy about business expenditures. The upside for you, our fans, is our book release schedule extends into 2026 now.Whew.We managed to get to the main topic of today's podcast: reviews, reviews, reviews. They're almost as important as the books, and they are essential to a writer's success, whether they are mainstream or independent writers. We talked about the impact and necessity of reviews, and we outlined the two Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) websites we checked out: Book Sirens and Net Galley. We also begged our readers to leave reviews because feedback makes us better human beings and better writers.Is that all? Is that enough? (Grin) I think so.One last thing: please buy direct from us and help support the arts (and a couple of starving writers :))Have a listen and let us know what you think. TIA!

For our 14th episode of LYL, we brought on Jeremy Schneider from Personal Finance Club. You all LOVED the episode so much, we're reposting it for this week's episode! This time of year is when we all tend to re-evaluate our finances—our budgets, investing strategies, debt payoff methods, the whole nine! We figured this episode would be a great refresher as you nail down your finances for 2025. Jeremy is a multi-millionaire that retired at 36 (and one of the kindest people we know). After hitting that milestone, Jeremy dedicated his career to teaching hundreds of thousands of people how to invest and build wealth in the stock market. In this episode, we discussed: What it actually means to invest Why investing is important, especially when you're young How to invest and what to invest in Do you need a financial advisor? And some of YOUR investing questions!

We get back into the swing of things with a story told by Melissa straight out of Texas. It's got twists, turns, and 911 call recordings to BOOT. Sorry about the all caps in 'boot' I was going for a Texas/pun thing. LYL!

New Age love & wellness influencers turned baby NXIVM: That's kinda the best way we can succinctly describe this week's cult, Twin Flames Universe, one of the most chilling groups we've discussed on the pod thus far. Several months ago, Twin Flames survivor Jessi Hersey, whom you might recognize from the “Escaping Twin Flames” doc on Netflix, slid into our DMs and made a very generous and compelling argument as to why Twin Flames needed airtime on Sounds Like A Cult. After all, it's important to represent the whole LYL, WYB, GTFO cult spectrum! This week, we're asking the fundamental questions: How did this niche online self-help “community” turn so destructive so fast, and how are its tenets low-key a threat to us all? Tune in to find out, and make sure to listen to the very end of the episode. We're making a highly exciting announcement about the next season of SLAC… let's just say there might be a couple new “cult leaders” (ahem, co-hosts) in your future!

Episode 179 of our writers' podcast for writers is about the evolution from science fiction to science fact in our lifetimes. CC and I grew up in what some may call a “golden age” when we watched how technologies dreamt about on TV and in books became reality. We only have to look at our phones and watches as proof. We discuss how the technological evolution affected our own books, notably my in-progress manuscripts lovingly called The Space Epic. We also chat about our other works in progress and immediate plans for the future (road trip!). Our website is www.carsonhume.com Check us out and let us know what you think. TIA! LYL!

Today, we're recommending a podcast called Sounds Like A Cult - a podcast about modern day "cults" from host, and literary mastermind behind The Age of Magical Overthinking, Amanda Montell. The episode we're sharing with you today is about the cult of Amazon. Hope you enjoy listening as much as we do. * * * Welcome baaaAAAAaaaAAaack, culties!!

Episode 154 is about the passion in writing a romance book…or writing romance in your book. What's the difference? We discuss how we were "programmed" from an early age and by society to write our respective flavors of romantic novels. We spoil "Romancing the Stone," "The Lost City," and the Marvel Universe movies. Also: short business updates and the saga of our poor basement. Have a listen and check us out at www.carsonhume.com. TIA! LYL!

"Tradition is peer pressure from your ancestors" is how we framed Episode 146. We go down down tradition's path by discussing some of our family traditions this time of year, which now requires we watch three holiday movies: Die Hard, Christmas Vacation, and Love Actually. We talk about these movies appeal to us. As promised, here's the link when we eviscerated "Love Actually" (check out the beard!). We wore red this week for our family at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. We are all Rebels this week. There's a free book offer in this podcast/broadcast if you listen, but there's one small condition. Have a listen and check us out at www.carsonhume.com. LYL! Take care.

Is George Lucas good or lucky? Episode 127 of our writers podcast is about writers who capture lightning in a bottle. They submit books and screenplays at just the right time which capture the imagination and take the country by storm. There's lots of examples, starting with Mr. Lucas. Some folks would point to his pop cultural phenomenon of "Star Wars," but we go to the 1973 classic called "American Graffiti." This movie almost singlehandedly brought the 1950s nostalgia craze to the forefront of the Seventies and beyond. The movie also had a direct impact on CC's formative years. We also include the usual updates about our WIPs, our basement (yuck) and the tenants, the deer. Have a listen and check us out at www.carsonhume.com TIA! LYL!

What's going on with Episode 126 of our writers' podcast? The better question is what isn't going on with this podcast. We start off with the premise that an epiphany is part of the writer's toolchest, but it's an unreliable tool. Yes, the initial idea of a book can be classified as one, but what happens after you start writing and developing characters and plot? We have ideas on how to create and use epiphanies in your writing. There's also a discussion on how long you should take to write a book. Spoiler: CC has been working on hers for over ten years and I started mine in 2022. They might appear in 2024. Also the usual junk drawer updates: Deer Basement Weather WIPs Killing characters Free book giveaway We go from Stephen King to George R.R. Martin in this one, so check us out at www.carsonhume.com and let us know what you think. TIA! LYL! Image source

Yeah, we joined mainstream and social media in debating Barbie in our podcast, but we went in a different direction with the history of gender-based books and roles. We start in the mass market publishing in the beginning of the 20th Century ("dime store novels") through the "Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew" type books of the Fifties. We work our way into Women's Lib and ERA, and we talk about how the Barbie movie is portrayed in social media. Also: -Our WIPs -Happy Birthday -Deer Update -WGA and the SAGAFTA strikes As a bonus, three of our books will be free on Monday, July 24. Here's that link. If you miss the giveaway, send me proof that you bought them and we'll Venmo you the cost. We'd rather you read the books than worry about buying them.

Why it is when we can't see the wood for the trees, are overwhelmed and already too busy with too much to think about we keep planting more trees. In this episode we explore why we wouldn't do this in nature and why it's counterproductive in our own lives too. You'll find the words of the poem, book, and how to sign up for LYL newsletter and other links mentioned in the podcast here  https://www.alisonsmith.co/stop-planting-more-trees-in-your-life/  

Episode 124 is about the writer's derivative use of other published works in their own works in progress. Where is the gray area of originality when using William Shakespeare's classic works, for example? Modern literature is full of examples of those who boldly took it upon themselves to "copy" the Bard's great works or at least use them as inspiration for their books. Where do we writers draw the line? What is plagiarism? Also: -Updates on the weather, our basement and the baby deer. -Nanowrimo -How sausage, laws, and books are created. -Using three senses in your writing (Das Boot). As always, we go to a lot of places in less than an hour. If you're a writer or thinking about becoming one, this podcast is for you! Have a listen and check us out at www.carsonhume.com TIA! LYL!

When we're caught up in the story we're telling it can be hard to see the wood for the trees and identify a strategy or action plan for getting unstuck and back on track. That's when taking to a higher vantage point to see all 360 degrees of options comes in, and that's what we explore in more detail in this episode. You'll find the words of the poem, book, and how to sign up for LYL newsletter and other links mentioned in the podcast here https://www.alisonsmith.co/getting-to-a-higher-vantage-point/

Episode 123 is all about the our new furry friends.

Writers are always told to "write what they know," but what if you don't know? This week, CC got the opportunity to fill out her life experience by going to Las Vegas' famous male revue: "Magic Mike Live." She takes our listeners through each step of the show: from hair-and-makeup to the dancing and athleticism of the show to the post-show meet-and-greet with some of the dancers. CC then spends some time outlining how she's going to apply this experience to her current work in progress. Also discussed: -Summer time! -Coca Cola Store! -Southwest Air -Fourth of July!

Happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate and should be celebrated! This week, we spent most of the podcast bragging about our kids, but we also debated a fair amount trying to crack the tough nut of Time. Question: how do you find the time to write? Even as empty nesters, CC and I struggle to set aside time to work on our WIP. We bounce around some ideas and plans. Have a listen, check us out at www.carsonhume.com, and send us your suggestions. TIA! LYL!

Bonjour! Today's writer's podcast is all about the City of Lights: Paris, France. We were lucky to spend more than a week discovering the wonders of Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Champs-Élysées, and a thousand places in between. From the Paris Metro to a famous graveyard. We walked along the Seine and took a long boat ride on the Seine, yet we barely scratch the surface of this wonderous city. From a writer's POV, we learned about communication gaps, French culture and history, and whether there was any truth to certain French stereotypes. Plus we visited Victor Hugo's bedroom and Oscar Wilde's tomb. Have a listen and check us out at www.carsonhume.com TIA! LYL! Some of the places we visited: Musée Marmottan Monet https://www.marmottan.fr/en/ Musée National Picasso-Paris https://www.museepicassoparis.fr/en/home-page Victor Hugo House https://www.maisonsvictorhugo.paris.fr/en Musée Carnavalet (History of Paris) https://www.carnavalet.paris.fr/ Musée des Arts et Métiers (Arts and Crafts) https://www.arts-et-metiers.net/ Père-Lachaise cemetery https://en.parisinfo.com/discovering-paris/walks-in-paris/unusual-stroll-cemetery-pere-lachaise

Episode 114 of the "helping writers write" podcast touches on messages to our younger selves. What we have learned and what would we say to ourselves if we could go back in time. "Never give up" is the obvious advice, but the rest is not so obvious. Also discussed: -Paris (France) -Mark Twain -Our Basement -Retirement -Significant Birthdays -Going to College -Our current WIPs And the real reason they made you take algebra in high school. It wasn't a waste of time! Listen to this and other podcasts at www.carsonhume.com and let us know what you think. TIA and LYL!

Been a low and slow day at the CC and JT Amateur Hour where "we help writers write" because Spring has finally sprung. Woo! We talked about the craft of writing last week, which is the technical aspect of grammar, editing, and publishing. These are universal to all books. What is not universal is the creative process or the art of writing, so today's podcast is all about pulling words from our brains and getting them on the screen. CC and I compare and contrast our respective styles as we talk about our current works in progress. Shorter: we podcast on making the sausage. Check us out at www.carsonhume.com For those who celebrate: Happy Easter! For the rest of us: Happy Zombie Jesus Day! TIA! LYL! (image src: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/175218241724991492/)

For those of us at certain age, we recall when Rod Serling spoke of the dimension of mind. Episode 111 of our "writer's podcast for writers" dives into the mind as we discuss "reality vs. memory." They're often not the same thing. We use a fender bender that CC and I saw firsthand this week. Even though it happens a few feet from us, we took away different perceptions of the event. We also provide updates on our individual works in progress which we hope to publish this year, plus the weekly weather and water report. Check us out on our website at www.carsonhume.com Have a listen and let us know what you think. TIA! LYL!

Another podcast, another joint therapy session. Northern Nevada is being pummeled by waves of rain and snow, and some of it overflowed into our basement. CC and I talk it out to get perspective and context, and as a means to reduce our stress. Also discussed: -Writing as an escape -Getting yourself into writing mode. -Memories and context. -Word games with kids. -Cochlear implants. -Rain and snow and rain and snow. -How we'd love to hear back from you. Trigger: I use a naughty word (a naughty Irish word, that is). Check us out at www.carsonhume.com Have a listen and let us know what you think. TIA! LYL!

We clearly had things on our minds in this week's writers podcast: -Snow. -So much snow. -The Northern Nevada Floods of 1997. -Heated sidewalks at the Nevada Legislature. -Our respective works in progress. -Staying focused on the story at hand and not getting sidetracked. -So much respect for veterinarians and their teams. We wrap it up with a dive into the taxes that writers must consider every year. We're not experts and do not mean to imply we have the answers, but we do share some thoughts on the subject. (PS: do your research and talk to a CPA.) We still clock in at less at thirty minutes, so it's perfect for your commute from Reno to Carson City! Have a listen and check us out at www.carsonhume.com TIA! LYL!

Time for another CC and JT Amateur Hour "where production values go to die." We like to help writers write. The past is always present and grips us all in more ways than one. CC and I discuss how to fold the past into your writing. We talk about the Hume Museum. Peggy the doll there has been handed down through generations, and her wooden friends come from overseas. We also chat about the Hume Clock (TikTok link) and my deer video with over ten thousand views (TikTok link). Have a listen and check us out at www.carsonhume.com TIA! LYL!

"The podcast where production values go to die" is more discombobulated than usual in this episode. We started talking about the value of developing routines and habits to establish comfort zones for writing. That's valuable stuff, but we somehow segued into the importance of fan fiction. We have a lot of respect for these artists, especially for middle and high schoolers who write and put themselves out there for (sometimes) very harsh criticism. Not much to reports on our personal works in progress, though Charlie (pictured) plays a key role in my WIP. Have a listen and check us out at www.carsonhume.com TIA! LYL!

CC and I meander all over the map in this week's podcast about Love. We agree, and we agree to disagree, but we're fairly safe in saying there are no absolutes other than "Love is Love." We hope you have it all figured out for yourself because listening to this podcast, you can tell we are clearly clueless. Have a listen and let us know what we got right or wrong. And check us out at www.carsonhume.com TIA! LYL!

We discuss "the doldrums," which we define as a normal interruption in the creative writing process. You have a story, but you don't what to with it or which direction to take it. We're going through this ourselves. We have some ideas on what got us there and what it will take to get us moving again. We also chat about our gift to you on Valentines Day and current events. Have a listen and check us out on www.carsonhume.com. TIA! LYL!

We struggled this week with "the big reveal": the completely out-of-the-blue plot twist. Does it take the reader out of the story? Does it improve the plot? Does it change a "routine" experience into a memorable one for all the right reasons? Thoroughly spoiled: "The Crying Game" and "Murder on the Orient Express." We also discuss our personal works in progress. This and other goodies on our website at www.carsonhume.com Have a listen and take care. LYL!

CC and I chat about what may be the most important emotional tool for a writer. We need a lot of moxie to get a book from a random idea floating in the ether to a real live book. We talk about the challenges of believing in yourself, plus we give some ideas in how to keep believing in yourself. There's the usual updates about our works in progress, and we make a big announcement about our next book. Check us out at www.carsonhume.com and thanks for listening! LYL!
