In today’s episode we are exploring the importance of going with the ebb and flow in a writing life. It includes:-     Embracing winter as a beautiful season for writing-     Why the life lessons we can learn from nature can be a great relief-     And because it’s Christmas… a peek inside the life of an author whose words helped shape Christmas as we know itI hope this podcast will help you write fearlessly, and with joy, and build a writing practice that nourishes you for the rest of your life.
