Customer Reviews
A motivating podcast!
I’ve been trying to write several books for years, but more recently I’ve been really serious about it. I found this podcast to help with my writing and it has done more than that. They help motivate me with great ideas of how to write, what to write about, and what to do when I can’t write. If you’re in a lull or experience writers block, listen to this podcast!
Frustrating Listen
I started with 3.42 because I’m a fan of Legend’s and Lattes but had to turn it off because one of the hosts just kept talking over the guest. The poor guy was trying to tell his story about self publishing his book and then signing with Tor but the host thought it was a better idea if HE told the guy’s story. If you’re going to have guests, ask questions and let them talk. Easy enough!
Just Write It
Just Write it. Stumbled across this podcast by chance. I had been searching out advice to get out of a writing slump. The best advice found within this podcast are “just write it” of course no one says that, but it’s necessary to summarize many encouraging words into a few. Who cares if someone will read your work, Just Write It.
