Subject: Regarding Episode 54’s Write-up<\/p>\n
Tim, we gotta get this podcast posted, but my knack for inventing a clever hook for the write-up is failing me. I just need that and we’re set to go. After the hook, I just mention that this week’s topic is the use of meta in fiction and that in the second half we do some Take of Tales stuff.<\/p>\n
Seriously, though, if we’re really going to be everyone’s premier podcast on storytelling, we need a intriguing hook. Otherwise they won’t listen to episode 54 of Derailed Trains of Thought, and they really, really should.<\/p>\n
Thanks!<\/p>\n

P.S. Brain died for the title, too, but it’s better than “Three-Dimensional Pun,” which was my other option.<\/p>\n
