Writing Sessions and Other Notes in Podcast Form
I have been writing and devising stories since I was eight years old. I think it’s about time to assess my progress. In order to become a better writer, I have to ask myself what works and what hasn’t worked for me all along.

It’s like a writer’s journal, but recorded!
