In this episode, I share some vulnerable thoughts and personal struggles for me as a writer lately. And I read a poem from my poetry book that has been stewing in my mind and soul lately.

Hello listeners. It’s been a while. I’ve been busy with a few writing projects lately from a second poetry book to a webcomic and now a children’s book. Don’t worry. Dare To Write episodes will still come out each month. Maybe twice a month by next year. In this episode, I share my journey of hating reading as a child to truly appreciating it as an adult and a writer. For those who feel burnout, or lacking creativity as a writer, I encourage you to read and I explain why.  DARE TO TUNE IN!

To celebrate the month of Women's History, I decided to discuss the fundamentals of crafting a female villain as well as my issues with current villainesses in the media and storytelling realm lately.

Creatives have a sensitive connection with the world. It is their muse. Their place of wisdom, perspective and motivation. But what happens when that connection is cut off? What happens to the creative when the world shuts down? When the creative faucet stops dripping? DARE TO TUNE IN!

This was such a delightful and deep episode with guest Angela Ackerman, co-writer of books like The Emotion Thesaurus, The Positive Trait thesaurus, etc. Angela's books were on one of my blog posts "TOP 10 Book Recommendations for Writers". Her books have been a resource of knowledge, inspiration, and excitement when I'm crafting and exploring my characters. Today Angela and I discuss how psychology helps writers bring creativity to their characters and their arcs.  DARE TO TUNE IN!

Guysssssss! I'm so excited to share my first guest episode with you. Especially since my first guest has been an inspiration to me as a podcaster, writer, & INFP aka Sarah Rhea Werner, host of the Write Now Podcast. Sarah and I talk about pacing yourself as a writer and how comparison kills our creativity as well as the struggles of creating during a pandemic.

Does your story require a romance? Are you planning a romance in your story and wondering if you should scrap it? Did you get a new story idea with characters but you're not sure on whether to have a love interest? This episode I propose some questions to help answer these dilemmas.  DARE TO TUNE IN!

I think romance is a universal thing we experience or long to experience. That’s probably why the romance genre is so popular and thriving for writers and readers alike. And as you guessed, because this month of February is all about romance and love, I figured I talk about writing about love and romance. Today I wanted to share the best (in my personal opinion) romance tropes.  DARE TO TUNE IN!

Are you a racist writer? Do you have an obligation to write a diverse cast of characters? Is race a character attribute? Should you research characters of color? Are you obligated to write characters from your own race? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT. I also forgot to say my catchy tagline at the end of this episode so I’ll say it here, “Be daring, darling”.
