<p><strong>S3 Episode 42: Don't let the title freak you out... but it's true. Also, yes, it's really episode 41, but come on... We had to, right?</strong></p> <p>!Mild coarse language - like numerous droppings of the F-bomb.</p> <p>In this episode, we stick a fork in the podcast! Done. That's All Folks! As they say. But, hey, maybe it won't be, you never know. Lol. It may seem like it's a rather out-of-the-blue thing and it is, but it isn't. I mean, ignoring the fact that somehow, we both did this for almost three full years (like, how?) I think the signs were there that the days were numbered. But listen to the episode and we'll explain why today is the last episode OF THE CURRENT ITERATION of Character Collective. That is not to say that we WILL be back, but we won't write off anything. On the plus side, now you can go back and catch up with all the crap... I mean, amazing insights? you missed in earlier episodes, lol. </p> <p>THANK YOU for listening and for being a part of this crazy directionless journey that somehow got us both to where we are now. If you've listened from the start, you know it's not just been about books and characters. We both found ourselves (or at least, started to) while you listened in. But now, the shiny newness has settled and we are ready to discover what it's like to live without someone else's glass ceiling. </p> <p>FOLLOW US (because we are still the Character Collective in many forms) and stay up to date about anything we drop here or any new ventures from either of us. Follow us on Medium and head to our websites and don't forget to BUY OUR BOOKS!!!</p> <p><strong>Kai on Medium: </strong><a href="https://kp-the-writer.medium.com/subscribe"><strong>Subscribe for notifications!</strong></a><strong> If you use my affiliate link to </strong><a href="https://kp-the-writer.medium.com/membership"><strong>JOIN MEDIUM HERE</strong></a><strong> you get all the benefits and I get therapy.
