#33 - Julie Duffy invites you to write a StoryADay in May!

<p><b>July Duffy </b>was a self-confessed frustrated creative writer-who-wasn’t-writing, when she challenged herself to write a story every day of May 2010. Other would-be writers heard what she was doing and asked to join in. And that was only the beginning.<br/><br/><b>And today - May 1st, 2024 - Julie is launching the 15th year of </b><a href='https://storyaday.org/'><b>StoryADayMay</b></a><b>.</b></p><p>Since then thousands of writers have joined Julie each May (and lately in September too), to prove to themselves that they can make creativity a priority in their lives. The focus is on writing, creating and improving your craft, not on getting published (though that may be the end result eventually too).</p><p>Now, she leads her community of writers at StoryADay, and is a sought-after guest speaker on topics related to creativity, productivity and community. And as a fellow Scot, I had such a lot of fun chatting to Julie for this episode of Authors &amp; Audiences.<br/><br/>So if you are listening on May 1st - <a href='https://storyaday.org/'>go sign up for Julie&apos;s daily email writing prompts</a>.<br/><br/>If you are listening later in May - it&apos;s still not too late, <a href='https://storyaday.org/'>so go sign up for Julie&apos;s daily email writing prompts.</a><br/><br/>And if you are listening anytime later, Julie has so many other things to get you writing throughout the year,<a href='https://storyaday.org/'> I think you should sign up anyway</a>.<br/><br/>I&apos;m planning to join in and write some stories too - maybe not every day, but as many as I can manage, so make sure you <a href='https://www.instagram.com/carolineleechwrites/'>follow me on Instagram </a>and I&apos;ll share my progress with you there, so you can share yours too.</p><p><b>Please Rate, Review, &amp; Subscribe to </b><a href='https://www.authorsandaudiences.com/'><b><em>Authors &amp; Audiences</em></b></a><b>!</b> </p> <p><b>Sign up for </b><a href='https://www.carolineleechwrites.com/'><b>my newsletter</b></a><b> </b> <br/><br/><b>Music </b>by Oleg Kirilkov - #We StandWithUkraine</p>
