In this, the last episode of Season 1 of Cutting Chai Stories with Jayati Vora, I speak again with Nadine Kenney Johnstone (if you missed it, check out her interview with me last week on episode 19). Nadine is the author of the memoir Of This Much I'm Sure, writing coach and writing professor, and on episode 20, she generously takes us through a thought exercise designed to have you visualizing what you want to write before you ever pick up your notebook, helping greatly with the common problem of writer's block. Grab a pen or a laptop before you listen, pause as and when you need to, and spin the mental exercise out for as long as you need--by the end of it, you'll have constructed a whole scene in your head, with setting, characters, dialogue, and more.
This is the last episode of Season 1, it's true, but I'll probably pop in here for a bonus episode or two before we get to Season 2. In the meantime, do keep in touch via Instagram (I'm at @jayativora) or in my Facebook group, also called Cutting Chai Stories.
Thank you to all of you who have been listening, all of you who wrote to me, all of you who came on my podcast to share your energy and wise words with my listeners!
