Iron Brewed (or is it Irn Bru'd??) joined us for the first time! We talked about his year‑long poetry residency, typewriter quirks, and his moderately insane method of writing three totally different drafts of the same story before stitching together the best bits. We also geeked out about favorite authors, NaNoWriMo plans, and how different tools change the way you write.

Then we read first‑draft stories inspired by Triumvir, an ancient Roman leader.

Be sure to follow us on Instagram (if that's your sort of thing). Please do send us an email with your story if you write along, which we hope you will do.
