The Writing Record Podcast 8.13.21 – Collaborating with technology, CLOSAT to organize our writer thoughts, and a list of stuff to inspire you.

The Writing Record is an accountability journal, a place to unpack the creative process, and a reminder that our art matters, no matter where we come from or how we pay the bills. And some content links to get your started! Produced by J. Alejandro.

Hi there, here’s a rant for creatives!

• I talk about my love and hesitation to collaborate with technology. I wonder if the Storybot Writing Prompt App is any good, and I also talk about making poetry with Google Translate.

• During this, I discussed how I use the CLOSAT system to catalog all of the ideas and details I gather from life and everything else.

• Also had a dream about repressing creativity.

• This hard times article about a bag in a bag of bags.

• I wrote a poem about this snail because I had to, inspired by this picture.

• And here’s the poem: https://www.instagram.com/p/CScbxbsLx-Y/

• Macbeth at the Folger Theater, free on YouTube!

• Check out this amazing list of bilingual children’s books!

• The Nowhere Inn, a mockumentary+weird thing starring St. Vincent and Carrie Brownstein, looks amazing!

Hope this helps, make art, much love!
