  • Loving this podcast

    I’m loving this podcast. I feel like I’m benefitting from the writing course at the OFS (even though I’m not on it) and I can do this in my own time and space. I can also come back to bits I need to refresh on later. Mike and Alex are really inspiring and I’m finding listening is helping me address some of the challenges in my writing. It is really accessible and encouraging. More, more, more please!
