The Purpose of A Writing Practice

Apr 14, 2022

Last week Nicole took part in a 24 hour story contest and found that the Writing Practice she has been learning from Natalie Goldberg and Writing Down the Bones helped her reach the deadline. In this episode Nicole shares her writing practice and flash fiction story to show the connection between the two in just one example.
