THE WRITE FIX
The Podcast That Will Get You Writing Today!
LAUNCH ANNOUNCEMENT!
THE WRITE FIX, a podcast by writers for writers is coming in September!
We all know that writing can be a solitary endeavor, but connecting with other writers can be a powerful way to level up and stay motivated. The idea for this podcast grew during sessions with my writing group. We started doing an exercise as part of our weekly Zoom meeting. It improved our writing. And it was fun!
Wherever you are in your writing journey, we believe it will help you too. So we decided to share what we are doing. But here's the exciting part. This isn't just another talking-heads podcast. Okay, we talk a little--we can't seem to help it. But this is, at its core, an experiential program! We are inviting you to participate by writing along with us each week.
But this is, at its core, an experiential program! We are inviting you to participate by writing along with us each week.
It starts with the monthly announcement of a genre, which will be released on the first of the month and be the focus of our podcasts and bonus posts throughout the month. During the podcast episodes, we will announce a four-part writing prompt. This prompt includes a character, a location, the monthly genre, and an essential tactic.
We brainstorm for about ten to fifteen minutes, usually reviewing some concepts related to Story Gird coursework that brought our group together in the first place. Then we start a timer and churn out a gloriously imperfect story draft in ten minutes--which we then read aloud to each other.
Free subscribers will get the monthly genre reveal email and two episodes of The Write Fix per month. Paying subscribers will get four episodes per month. In addition, paid subscribers will have access to comments, so you can post your story drafts, comment on each other's work, and connect with other members.
The hope is that The Write Fix podcast and Substack space can serve as a virtual writing group. A place you can come for regular practice every week or drop into when you're feeling stuck.
Our first genre reveal email will go out to subscribers on September 1, 2023, at noon EST. The podcast will launch a few days later, but you can subscribe now to receive early bonus content. So hit that subscribe button now and then share this post with your writer friends. All are welcome!
