Writers Chat, hosted by Jean Wise, Johnnie Alexander, and Brandy Brow, is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers and for writers!
“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it.”
How Music Inspires Writers with Victoria Duerstock
Many of us have heard the saying, “music soothes the savage beast.” But our question is, can it inspire a writer? In today’s episode Victoria shares her thoughts on this question. Co-hosts, Johnnie Alexander, Brandy Brow, and Melissa Stroh chime with their thoughts of how music inspires them. Some writers prefer peace and quiet to write throughout the writing process, others listen before they write, while others rock out. Victoria plays snippets from her writing play list, including a foreboding instrumental that instantly brought to mind the idea of something bad is about to happen. Perhaps you haven’t given this topic much thought before, but I challenge you to check out this week’s replay. I know you’ll be encouraged and inspired.
Watch the January 19th replay.

Using Memory to Launch Story with Norma Poore
In this open mic episode, we take a trip down memory lane for inspiration. Whether you write fiction or nonfiction, our memories fuel what we write. Norma asks us to think of our favorite memory from childhood and share not just the simple memory, but the sounds, smells, and feelings that went with the memory. One common theme that flowed through these memories was love, which turned our hearts and minds to the unconditional love of God. So, if you are feeling discouraged or stuck in you’re writing, check out this week’s episode. I believe you will be encourage and inspired.
Watch the January 26th replay.
