Really excited for this as a wannabe fiction writer, who didn't strike while I was still used to creative writing, and ended up just writing factual content in print media, I'm hoping to learn some strategies for overcoming creative blocks. Molly Naylor, is someone I'm already a fan of, I can't wait to find out who she's having conversations with for this pod¹
