The Scribe Vibe Podcast
by Janae
Hi my name is Janae and I am a writer just like you. As a novice writer you have good days and bad. Good when you find your flow. Bad rejections and writer's block. I've been there too. I offer a guide to what I have used to create in the best environment to follow your muse. Only 3% of writers even finish their books let alone have a career. Writing a book is hard and if you indie publish its even harder. So if you have questions or not I can help. I create episodes that may incite or answer questions you didn't know you had. Join me each week and don't forget to have fun. Get bonus content on Patreon Please connect with me on Patreon, there you can receive messages, view lives, come to my discord. I plan to start contests, do giveaways and collect swag in relation to my book and podcast. Feel free to connect with me www.patreon.com/janaewritesit <a href="https://plus.
