I'M READING: Seven Steeples by Sara Baume
Announcements: https://infostack.io/ebook-wpp5/?affiliate=valerieihsan for a free ebook entitled Your Hero's Journey: Overcome the dragons of dread, doubt, and defeat, and release your creative power as a writer. By the staff at Infostack.

Next episode: How to keep writing when your kids are home.

Resources/Notes: The British actress I thought of during the episode was Olivia Colman. But the narrator for the audiobook, My Mess is a Bit of a Life, was Katherine Parkinson--which was the medical receptionist in Doc Martin. GREAT voice.

I wanted to announce that my friend, colleague, and mentor, J Thorn, just launched his new book, Writing Scenes.

I'm especially excited about this because I contributed to the making of this book in several ways, and I feel quite proud of all I did.

One of the example scenes in the book is one I submitted from my current work in progress (my memoir).

I narrated that scene (in the Before and After example) in the audiobook. (Audiobook is coming soon. Just waiting on Audible to approve it.)

And I edited the book for J.

It would tickle me if you picked up the book for yourself. Here's the link: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/three-story-method-writing-scenes
