Episode 6 - The lost art of the penpal: why slow letters changed how I see the world

<p>It&#39;s 1994. I am 18 years old, sitting at a chaotic bedroom desk, writing a letter in my best handwriting to a girl called Chris in Austria. I had never met her. We would write to each other for three years.</p><p>In this episode, I make the case for slow letters: what they give us that a text or email never can, why waiting for a reply is its own quiet joy, and what Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West knew about putting the truest things on paper.</p><p>Your writing invitation: write the first line of a letter you haven&#39;t written yet.</p><p><br></p><p>------</p><p>If you’d love to keep writing with me beyond this episode, I’d love to invite you into The Writing Shed Club. It’s an online writing community for women, and inside you will find: daily prompts, monthly writing themes, printable tools, mini-lessons, live writing circles, weekly co-writing time and more. </p><p><br></p><p>Come and write with us here 👇🏻</p><p><a href="https://danielapescuma.com/step-into-my-world/">https://danielapescuma.com/step-into-my-world/</a></p>

Episode 5 - Why "I'm not a real writer" is the most expensive lie you tell yourself

<p>Do you have a notebook - or several - that you bought with every intention of filling... and didn&#39;t? </p><p>Do you love the idea of writing but hear a quiet voice asking: who do you think you are?</p><p>In this episode, I trace where that voice comes from, dismantles the myth of the &quot;real writer,&quot; and make the case that the most expensive thing you can do is keep listening to it. Featuring Toni Morrison, Agatha Christie, and one very unbroken notebook spine. 😉</p><p>Your writing invitation this week: write one true thing. Just for you.</p><p>----</p><p>If you’d love to keep writing with me beyond this episode, I’d love to invite you into The Writing Shed Club. It’s an online writing community for women, and inside you will find: daily prompts, monthly writing themes, printable tools, mini-lessons, live writing circles, weekly co-writing time and more. </p><p>Come and write with us here 👇🏻</p><p><a href="https://danielapescuma.com/step-into-my-world/">https://danielapescuma.com/step-into-my-world/</a></p>
