Writing Process

Recorded on July 18th, 2022 In this episode, I talk about writing process—how they have helped me, how they could help you—and I share my entire writing process, from idea to complete story that can then be published (hopefully!) I also tell you about the not-so-fun thing that happened this week... and the awesome one!
