Ep184 This Writing Thing Ain’t No Joke
Jun 23, 2026 Season 19 Episode 1
Angella Fraser & Leslie Osei-Tutu

Moving countries is one kind of reset. Writing about your life is another.  Angella and Leslie catch up on life in Panama City then talk about what it takes for them to contribute chapters to an upcoming anthology with their friend and editor Kim Coles. The Besties unpack perfectionism, the writing blocks that surprised them, and the practical tricks that finally helped their writing flow to completion.
