112: Hunky Dory – Writing Nonfiction, Reflection, and the Tools We Avoid

This week was half nonfiction, half fiction, and 100% navel‑gazing. We talked about how prompts can be used as writing exercises, not just story starters: dialogue drills, worldbuilding sprints, or even raw essays that feel more like therapy than fiction.After that, we read pieces inspired by Hunky Dory, ranging from heartfelt reflections to stories that definitely weren’t all sunshine and rainbows.Stories begin at the 16:45.Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?
