#222 – Free-Writing Session (Joyce Carol Oates, Anthony Bourdain, Chance Durant)

Spun Today with Tony Ortiz

In this episode I share my Writing stats for October & November of 2022. I share a writing tip that I picked up along the way and I tell you about what I’ve been reading. I share a Spun Today questionnaire submitted by fellow writer Chance Durant and I also read and reflect on a free-writing piece, which can be found at: spuntoday.com/freewriting.

The Spun Today Podcast is a Podcast that is anchored in Writing, but unlimited in scope. Give it a whirl.
