Diary of a Writer

About This Podcast
People are fascinated with the idea of writing. So many people say, 'I want to write a novel,' but so few actually know what's entailed. The Diary of a Writer is an inside look at the life of a full-time writer, who's been writing for over a decade and actively publishing stories over that time. Messy, chaotic, vulnerable and exhausting, the Diary of a Writer, should not be read by the feint hearted.
Ink will be spilt; fingers shall crack; pages will go missing.
