The Working Writer
If you're a writer of any kind but have a full-time job (or two) to pay the bills, this is the podcast for you! We can write together and keep each other motivated. Each week, we'll talk about how to use your precious time to get your writing going and be accountable for getting it done! Every other week, we'll feature an interview with somebody who can tell you what they expect out of your writing... actors, directors, producers, and yes, other writers!
