CC and I are gratified by how passionate people are about their own writing and about our books, and we learn something new every single time we come in contact with everyone. As we say in the podcast, they keep us energized about writing and they help keep us honest, too. </p><p>We also chat about Chicago sports and jumping on/off bandwagons.
