Show Notes:
Storytelling games are all the rage these days. Nicole introduces you to the games she’s played with family and also transformed into inspirational, fun, or funky writing prompts. Why? Because no writing is wasted writing, and it’s also okay to just write for fun. Check out this episode if you are interested in some new resources and permission to have fun!
