Episode 212: Wrath Leads to the Dark Side

Join Vicky and Joe in another lockdown episode – and discover what colour they dyed Joe’s hair, why they had to wrestle Picard the TinySheep to the ground, and what they’re growing in the garden. Also, discover how Vicky twists wrath into a deadly sin of writing. Find out why it’s important to “let it go”, how to deal with other people’s anger, and how you can use anger to your advantage when you’re writing your book.
