Off Grid - a freewriter's journey

<p>Do you fancy yourself a writer? Stuck in neutral and cannot get past the first page? Been there, done that.</p><p>Welcome to Off Grid - a podcast service for writers, would-be writers, and readers of historical and mystery/suspense fiction. It is entitled “Off Grid” for two reasons:</p><p>1.- the practice called “freewriting” is an alternative to the grid-based, outlined, and preplanned writing style we were all exposed to in school. There is a better way for those of us who cannot function like that.</p><p>2. - I have really gone “Off Grid” - sold our family home in Centralia where we raised 3 of our own, helped with grandchildren, and welcomed almost 40 foster children to our beautiful extended family. Time for a change after 25 years.</p><p>So we have gone off grid - taking to the road to discover a whole new range of experiences and intrigues.</p><p>I will be featuring ideas and excerpts from my Juno Letters and Carlisle Journal series as they relate to topics of interest. New fiction will follow, and will be debuted here.</p><p>We will keep an running account of our travels and how they relate to this writing style.</p><p>For an inspiring book on free writing, the one that caught me in its web in college years ago, check out “<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Writing-without-Teachers-Peter-Elbow/dp/0195120167">Writing-without-Teachers</a>” by Professor Peter Elbow ). [This is an unsolicited recommendation]</p><p>In the near future the podcast will become a for-fee service, but for now they remain free. Once the serve is set up, your one-time subscription will include ebook copies of all 14 books in my <i>Juno Letters</i> series.

Hewitt, and I’ve gone OFF GRID</p>
