#5 - Writers and Loneliness

Hi and welcome back to The Sitting in Silence Podcast, the show for writers, readers, and thinkers. Let’s talk about writing and loneliness. The two are tied together, but if you’re a writer, you already know that. Well…what do we do about it?I spent some time at AWP in Kansas City and it was great to run into so many people who listen to or read a version of Sitting in Silence. I’m glad you get something out of it it. If you like this episode, please comment below.Of course, this is a special time in my world.
