We’re also ending the writing prompt series for now, but will keep thinking about other ways to share. Let us know if you have ideas!
Finally, we check in with how we are doing about our goals and what our summers are going to look like. We’d love to hear your plans for the summer, too.

Episode 36 with #AmWriting host, Jess Lahey
We interviewed Jessica Lahey, a teacher, writer and co-host from the wonderful #AmWriting podcast. Jess talked us through how keeping her day job keeps her writing and ideas fresh, the difficulties of writing when she’s on the road on speaking tours. She gives some good tips on how to balance speaking gigs and freelance work, should you be looking to go that direction. And she has great advice on being kind to yourself and living a writing life, and the importance of writing friendships.
