Write with Me. Late Night Writing Session May 03, 2021

This particular episode is an actual time writing session. I would only recommend listening if you are a writer and have time to write. We start with 15 minute writing then a bootleg 5 minute break and then another 25 minutes of straight writing. Timed writing starts around the 4+ minute mark so in the beginning, get your station set up. Get what you need to get, find a timer and get to it. Once you begin, pause this episode and work on your story then when you finish, come back and break. I will be doing more of these in between main recordings.
