056 - NaNoWriMo 2020

Published: Nov. 25, 2020, 8 a.m.

Gen and Jette talk all things writing for NaNoWriMo! We talk about books that inspire us, discovering what we like to write, and how making this podcast has helped us grow as writers. Congrats to the all the NaNo writers who hit their 50k word goals and to all those who didn't, but got some more words than that what they started with.

\nShow Notes:
\nApologies if you can hear a dog barking in the background, Gen's room is not soundproof and one of her neighbours has a loud dog.
\nFun drinking game: take a shot every time we mention Paper Houses (we'll be talking about it forever).
\nGen mentions Supernatural, of course.
\n*whispers* Jake Gyllenhaal
\nIf you have a journaling practice, please tell us about it. We don't know how to do this thing!
