Even a guy with a middle school diploma can probably explain what it means: add a bit more weight each time instead of adding too much weight at once.

A single thought dominates my mind—I can’t do this. Perhaps, if this had been a movie or a book, a training montage after a good mentoring speech would have worked well enough. But the situation I’m facing is not someth...

Audiobook Narrator Poll
I've been thinking about the audiobook of Casual Heroing a lot since tone is going to be harder than in a normal 3rd POV. Personally, I've been floating the idea of getting a female narrator for Joey, if possible with some Italian ancestry. I don't know, I don't find most male narrators voices apt for the task. However, it's also true that I've listened to maybe half a dozen audiobooks and I'm not representative of what readers/listeners would like. Therefore, I'm...
