Hello, friends! Welcome to Just Write for introverts, your virtual writing partner in podcast form. Each episode, you’ll get a series of writing prompts for sessions that last for however long you’d like to write. After introducing a prompt, I suggest writing time lengths and count you out: 1, 2, 3, write. You press pause and do your thing. When you're ready, come on back and continue on to the next prompt. Let’s get writing!
Taking a stroll through memory and dreams | Just Write for introverts

Love and smoke and not losing the thread | Just Write for introverts
Today we get back to some of my favorite kinds of writing exercises, a prompt style from Natalie Goldberg, where you have your prompt and you write from it, but as you lose the thread of a thought or want to push yourself deeper into your thoughts, you repeat the prompt and write again, and again and again. The focus of the writing today is all hovering around themes of love and relationships it feels like. That's what comes from writing after going on a walk with a friend who's a dating coach!

What do a scared human, a blue turtle, and a comfy couch have in common? | Just Write for introverts
Today was a silly episode. I was in an odd mood: both firm about what I wanted to work on and scattered in thought. How can one be both focused and all over the map? A mix of tiredness and excitement rolled together, perhaps? The main thrust of the session was looking at what drives us, what drives our characters, and then also the driver itself—the narrator. I got a lot of inspiration about types of narrators (character, omniscient, and ambiguous) from Mario Vargas Llosa's book Letter to a Young Novelist. From there came a narration challenge. And so, what do a scared human, a blue turtle, and a comfy couch have in common? Listen to find out! Thanks for rolling with me today!
