Writers Chat Recap for October Part 2

Writers Chat Recap

Writers Chat, hosted by Johnnie Alexander, Brandy Brow, and Melissa Stroh, 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.”

Book Chat: Unleashing the Writer Within

In this round table discussion, we share our favorite highlights from NYT bestselling author Cecil (Cec) Murphey’s book, Unleash the Writer Within. Cec says, “The best kind of writing occurs when it comes from the heart. It’s called being authentic or transparent. Too many writers have an insatiable need to be accepted, liked, or admired, and those needs become more important than being true to their convictions. Be you when you write.” Find out if this book will be your next most-used and marked-up writing companion.

In this episode of Writers Chat, she shares some of the more obscure yet impactful aspects of under- and overwriting in order to help you improve your craft.
