  • Great Resources for Writers

    This is one of my go-to shows for writing. I have literally been motivated to get off my butt (or, really, on my butt) and get back to writing my story thanks to many of these episodes. I’ve also recommended it to several writer friends. Not too long, but always interesting and inspiring. Thank you, Rhonda, for putting together such a thoughtful show!
