Listen to Episode 15
For our fifteenth episode, we talk to Katerina Stoykova, author of Second Skin and Senior Editor of Accents Publishing. Katerina discusses how she uses her journals to create writing prompts for herself and offers advice for doing so with your own journals.
She believes that writers should "learn to write when you don't have time for writing." She says writing "when you don't have time... prepares you a whole lot better for stretches of time when you do have time for writing."
