Is it more important to preach or entertain? And why would you want to make the majority of your target audience "uncomfortable"?  If you would like to join the ranks of our supporters, you can support this podcast with a small monthly donation to help sustain future episodes at: https://anchor.fm/writerdojo  ____________________________________  *Cry Havoc* by Julie Frost is available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3ueUhPf (affiliate link)  ____________________________________  "Word Mercenaries" (the WriterDojo theme) is by Craig Nybo https://craignybo.com/
