If you’re reading this (and I know you are,) then you have stumbled across The Write Crowd community of writers and my humble blog. It’s an exciting week around here because it is the “official” launch of TheWriteCrowd.com and the innaugural podcast of the Insomniac Writer. I’ve never done a podcast before, which may be apparent, but I have a lot to talk about in regard to the craft of writing and the journey of the writer. The podcast just seemed like a natural extension of what the blog is meant to be… a look into the world of a writer in search of purpose. Thanks for listening. Be sure and check out the Official Write Crowd Podcast which I co-host with my good friend, Scott Badley. It’s chock full of websites, book reviews and tips to help our fellow writers. Until next time… Write more! Write now!
