Read and Write With Me

There's no such thing as the end of the journey called life...except, um, death. And people, we are not there yet! Which means, we still have time to get better at the things we love to do: bake, sing, create, love, and of course, write. So in this episode I share with you a few tips for how to become a better writer.

Have you ever tried to be a famous piano player never having once touched a piano in your life? Exactly. Why would you suddenly become a published writer, or finish a book, if you've never even focused on the basics? So, today, we get to basic in writing. Which means: sentences. Learn what a good sentence is, what a bad sentence is, and why understanding how to identify it is important.

It's not quite the right year to resolve to go the gym more or travel more or anything like that. So, what can you do to make a positive change? Look inward!

So. If this podcast itself hasn't proven that writing can help make you better at stuff (including making a podcast) then here's a post that shows you how other "sausage is made..." particularly, a comedy routine, and a song (yes you heard right!) I share with you my in-process, warts-and-all writing in this episode, so sit back, and enjoy the ride.

Say goodby until year. But in the meantime, don't just let your writing practice wither on the vine. To help make sure that you don't just let this good habit, good energy, and writing practice die a slow death...here's some joy, some fun, and a few more writing prompts to help you keep it fresh and real.

Do I really need to convince you that you should read and write? Even if I fail, this podcast has some jokes in it so you might just enjoy.

I take you through three books you should be reading (which I am reading, and will hopefully finish soon) and hopefully light a fire under you to get ready for National Novel Writing Month

In this podcast, I'll share my experience and some tips on things to think about when you are creating your eBook. Yes, it is easy to create an eBook. But, you want to make sure that it's easy to read, and that your reader is engaged in what you are saying, not the weird formatting issues that can plague your eBook.
