Well, remember a while back when I was so excited I could scream? My friend and poetry mentor Damian Jay Clay and I recorded a podcast. We'd recruited a guest to join us and discuss writerish things.
Well, we did it again. It was no less exciting the second time around.
We dragged another more-or-less-willing victim into conversation with us. This time, we discussed Self-reliance, an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The piece is not aimed strictly at writers, but it certainly applies to them and I enjoyed reading, contemplating and discussing it very much.
The two gentlemen I got to discuss it with are among my favourite people on the planet, so I would have enjoyed it no matter what we talked about, to be honest.
Thank you so much, boys, for the delightful hour of fun, giggles and writing talk. Isn't that the best combination ever?
Maybe I should let you guys be the judge of that.
Hugs

As a writer, finding the right community–the right tribe–makes all the difference.
For me, that’s the INKubator. I’m one of the admins there, and I have to say I’ve never been more proud of something I helped build, than I am of the INKubator.
We help each other improve, lovingly drown each other’s drafts in red ink, and help each other brainstorm.
But we’re more than a writing club. We’re a family. We root for each other as we submit pieces for various publication venues.
We cheer and join in victory dances when a piece is accepted.
We support each other through the disappointment of the inevitable rejections.
We hang out, playing as hard as we work, and from the madness of our conversations, more stories are born.
As a community, we span the globe, with members from Asia, Australia, Europe and the US, so chances are there will be someone there if you should decide to drop in.
If we’re quiet, that’s because we’re writing.
If you love writing, we’d love to meet you! Click on the banner below to pay us a visit.
