Maiden voyage, Buk, and two off the top.

Hope your Tuesday is running along just fine. A few things here. One, we're getting a lot of new writers on the site, which is ruling. We want to let them know that our house, in the middle of our street, is still and likely always going to be going through improvements. Small crew keeping it weather-safe, and the wheel of progress can be slow, but it is sure.

Any and all questions are best sent to info@theprose.com where one of us will either answer or find an answer.

Two, our banned book Challenge is really getting us going. It was slow to burn, but now, when it sparks, it rages. Loving the pieces in that one.

Here's that link. https://www.theprose.com/challenge/14416

Three, we've undergone some changes with the YouTube channel, after a lengthy decision over the weekend, as we thought it best to make it more of a radio show, because how many thousands of YouTube channels are there with hosts and talking heads? Answer: So many we decided it kind of dimmed us to add another, especially with a year straight of a loner turned, "YouTube guy," who was actually awkward and uncomfortable being in frame, and came across almost opposite his personality, which was fun for some smirking team members, but pure Hell otherwise. Haha!

We hope you like the new format. We love it. And it opens a few doors: Listen while driving, cleaning your place, bathing your dog... And the show can be longer in an easier way. Or shorter in an easier way; easier being the visuals not distracting from or influencing the work being featured. We are, after all, writers and readers. And two of the writers in the video today, following a legend's poem, both bring their respective and distinctive beauty to you. Here's the link.

And...

As always...

Thank you for being here.
