S1 Ep4: OPENING – choosing the writing path
Description
In today’s episode we explore what it means to choose the writing path, to seek out confirmation that the path is the right one for us, and to take the next step along it with confidence and hope. This episode includes:
- A special message for you
- Insight into what happens as soon as you commit to the writing path
- Assurance that you do not need any particular qualifications to walk this path, and it is never too late to begin (and I share my own story as proof)
In each episode, I will talk for about fifteen to twenty minutes, and then offer you a timed writing exercise at the end to try, for another ten minutes. Grab yourself a cuppa and settle in for a lovely writerly chat. With inspiration from Remi Graves, Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley.
I hope this podcast will help you write fearlessly, and with joy, and build a writing practice that nourishes you for the rest of your life. I’d love to see what writing it inspires – feel free to share by tagging me @bethkempton #fearlesswriterpodcast
