For reasons I don’t wish to disclose, I changed the name of my YouTube podcast from Spilling the Ink to Exercise Your Writes. Like a phoenix, a new name rises from the ash. It doesn’t matter why I changed it… the thing that impressed me is how easy it was to change it—thanks to technology.
The new write up says that I don’t believe in boring people exist, and this is true. Everyone I have ever met has had something interesting to share. I’ve wondered a few times what inspired me to produce this show. I mispronounce words, I say goofy things and I can’t seem to look polished if I tried. It comes down to curiosity. Doing this gives me free rein to be nosy.
I just released episode 8 and I’m booked until mid-July. I’m testing a second show on Wednesdays to see if there is enough demand. Guests have included petsitters, poets, professors and everyone in between. Access to these narratives is essential for writers who want to write authentically. We need different perspectives to give our created worlds depth.
The EXERCISE YOUR WRITES YouTube podcast (formerly Spilling the Ink) is full of different perspectives along with book and writer gossip, weird challenges, inspiration, poetry, and the company of your fellow book nerds. From industry veterans to fresh voices, watch and comment live each Saturday at 2 p.m. CST.
