Jio Talks

Hi there!

This is a re-launch of this channel and a discussion about a book I've read recently all in less than 35 mins! I hope you enjoy my ramblings on gothic literature and the book, Mexican Gothic.

There will be a video upload on my Patreon and you can find that at patreon.com/jiowritesstories :)

My instagram and tiktok are also @jiowritesstories and my podcast email is [email protected]

This episode is a study on three short stories that have shaped me as a writer, reader, and person. They're dark and creepy and gothic and all things nuts and amazing. They are easily found online and worth a read or revisit! As always, I hope you enjoy my point of view on these, but if you don't or simply want to chat about it or even suggest shorts for me to read, you can reach me at the following:

Hey! Hey!

In this episode I talk about negative self-talk and how most of the negative stories we repeat to ourselves when we "fail" are not started by us, but we do expand upon them. This is a little less of a light-hearted episode, and more of a self-reflective, catharsis episode. I hope you find something in my experience to help you through yours. <3

Hi again! Today I discuss the writing concept of shitty first drafts. It's part of the writing process and a necessary "evil" to get to the heart of what you really want to say. This episode is a ramble on why I've decided that it's good practice to view everything new I do, or every new fail as a shitty first draft.

**I had trouble with the editing tool, so i couldn't get rid of the coughing! I'm so sorry!**

The excerpt I read from is "Shitty First Drafts" by Anne Lamott from her book on writing, Bird by Bird.

I'mmmmmmm baaaaacccckkkkk!!!...I mean, at least I hope I am. Barring any other major hiccups, I am ready to begin posting regularly, finally. Everyone sucks in the beginning right? No one gets it right without trying and failing, so join me as I fumble through all this and more!

You can reach me at [email protected] and on TikTok and Instagram @jiowritesstories!

A little transparency on how this stuff isn't as streamlined as we would hope, BUT I will figure it all and get better. "Higher, Further, Faster, baby!"

Trying to figure all this out. Not as easy as it sounds, that's for sure! Also, I will be using a better mic soon!
