Customer Reviews
beautiful, honest, and short reflections on the writing life
This is a beautiful little podcast. As someone who doesn’t listen to many podcasts, preferring to give large chunks of time to reading rather than podcasts, this is a great little podcast that fits into the sliver spaces of life. It’s like getting to have a quick touch-in conversation with a writing friend.
”Hello.”
“Your writing life is real and worth reflecting on loud.”
“Thanks. I needed to hear that.”
