Episode 1: First Meeting of the Stop Writing Along podcast
listen on iTunes listen on Stitcher listen on Spotify
Show Notes:
It’s our first official Stop Writing Alone podcast episode and that feels a lot like the first meeting of a writing group. What do we do in first meetings? We talk about what we are doing here, we introduce ourselves, and we get to work with some writing. In this episode the host, Nicole Rivera, describes her writing journey and path to finding the writing communities — both online and in real life — that helped elevate her writing from a private passion to a pursuit for publication. She also provides a writing activity, and invites listeners to introduce themselves as well.
