In this short and sweet episode, we talk about how happy we are to be picked by some listeners on their lists of writing podcasts. Their blogs are both really great, with some good writing tips and content – check them out:
- Audrey J Martin’s LivingFromStory (her post about writing podcasts is here), and
- Rossi’s LitAndPie (her post about writing podcasts is here).
Then, we launch a new occasional segment called “You Can Do It, Too,” where we share stories we’ve seen recently about people who draw from their day jobs in their writing, or who work full-time and write on the side. For this week, we really loved this super-energetic (but not scary), inspirational interview by Sarah Werner with lawyer and legal thriller novelist Mike Papantonio.
Finally, we check in with our What’s Working Now/Everything’s Terrible, which turned out to be a lot about taking breaks.
You can listen right here on this page, or get Marginally on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, or wherever get your podcasts.
As always, we’d love for you to take a minute to rate and review us in your podcast app, as this helps other listeners find the show.

Theme music is “It’s Time” by Scaricá Ricascá.
