Who else is talking about ‘3 Months in Dublin?’
So, as I struggle to maintain somewhat constant motivation to write this novel I've been working on that is based in Ireland, I try different motivational tactics.

Podcasts aplenty
The headline says "aplenty." Maybe two isn't really "aplenty," but considering the podcast interviews I did came less than two weeks apart, and I'd only done one prior to that, I think "aplenty" works just fine.
