Writers Chat Recap for February, Part 1

“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it!”

Writers Chat, hosted by Jean Wise, Johnnie Alexander, and Bethany Jett, is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers, and for writers!

Featuring…

The Writer’s Office: Ideas & Organization by Jean Wise

In this episode, Jean Wise leads us on a picture adventure. We get a glimpse of writers, from days gone by to the present, at their desks. Some had larges desks, while others sat at a small table. One gentleman used the tailgate of his station wagon as a desk. Many were dressed for business while a few were not. We also had an open mic time so attendees could share what their office was like, window vs no window, one screen vs multiple screens. What’s your opinion, do think writers need an office?

Talking Comedy (While Pretending to Talk Romance)

This episode had a very special, reclusive writer, Hairlene. She poked fun at romance and was silly until her cousin, Rhonda Dragomir, who’s a writer, too, steps in to share with us the Threes of Writing Effective Comedy.
