B092 MY WRITING TIPS
In this podcast I wanted to share with you a few writing tips that I think may help you when it comes to writing your story. Remember, most stories have already been told just not in the way you will tell it. And that is what writing is all about. By using your imagination, emotions, experiences etc and by thinking outside the box you should be able to produce a great masterpiece.
