Minisode 12: Writing Through the Shadows Part II
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today's minisode is a bit more serious than usual. Join Shéa and Amy as they talk about writing during hard times, including physical and mental health issues.
But always remember -
If you CAN write, write.
If you can’t, care for yourself and return when you can.
The words will come back.
They always do.
