Forgive us for our audio sins and nerves in our first episode and buckle up for a swashbuckling introduction, starting with Lianna's feedback for Chapter 1 of Dakota's SWANA-inspired pirate fantasy WIP: The Bay of Barakat. In this episode we talk about what makes a successful introduction to a story and (what will become a recurring theme for Dakota >.<) of cutting down unnecessary length and killing darlings left and right.
