The podcast that shares the writerly convos that writers have when no one is listening (even if they *are* listening) - looking to demystify the writerly process, share the inner thoughts that don't always align with the outer successes and as much inspo as possible without worrying about sticking to script or filtering for trending content. We aim to deliver REAL writerly convos in about 45 minutes, so you can feel inspired to keep going on your own writerly path! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
