Lovely, lovely discussion. Could listen to the two of you for hours! Calm, collected, insightful.

Troy, but congrats again on LAMB. Ben, it gives me such a warm feeling to think back on that special Sunday morning (morning for me) sitting and listening to that final chapter of Departures. ☺️

Troy, it was "Precipice". Fond memories of writing those isolated scifi chapters. Hearing you talk about it makes me want to return to Jisa's story. I feel truly honoured that it helped inspire you approaching the structure of LAMB.

Yes! Precipice! It really did inspire me, I was so engrossed in the richness of the episodes I realized how something "in snapshots" could carry a lot of emotional resonance. :)

You guys touched on some really interesting stuff. I was especially intrigued by all the marketing things you’ve learnt and employed Troy! It’s both impressive, and I think, one day (whenever I finally finish my damn book) I may have to pick your brain about such things. :)
