You can create a website, social media, and host book signings. Join me and my friends, Vince and Theresa, as we discuss this topic.

Episode 2 Write what you know and know what you write. Guest Jean Klinger

In this episode, we will explore a wide variety of topics, including the importance of where you get your inspiration from, creating an outline for your story, note-taking, and writer's block. As writers, where we draw our inspiration from is an important part of how we form our stories. While it's true that a fictional story is made up by the writer's imagination, the inspiration for a story can come from anywhere. Join me as I talk with my guest Jean Klinger about these issues and more.
