Who, what, when, where, and why? It's that last question - why - that we focus on today. If writing is so hard, why do we do it? In today's episode, Mary and Melissa press pause to more deeply explore this seemingly simple and direct question. And hopefully, we inspire you to identify what you get out of writing, so that you have the motivation to keep going when things get a little tough.
