Listen "What To Do When You Have Writer’s Block"

Episode Synopsis

Anne Lamott (in her Bird by Bird book) says the dreaded writer’s block isn’t about being blocked, it’s about being empty. In today’s podcast we discuss Lamott’s approach to writer’s block, as well as her technique of letter writing to get at the heart of your story. We also have an insightful conversation on exactly why memoirists (or at least Renee) want strangers to read about their lives.

But before that, we have an interview with Kerry Muir from the The Writing Salon on what makes a workshop successful.
