*Please note: We are not experts, we can only speak to our own experiences*
So, we are still isolating at home, who knew it would last this long? Rhetorical question, lots of people did. But with this in mind Stevie and Gretchen decided to take a break from our three episode formula to chat about mental health as a writer. What are issues we as writers can deal with? What do Stevie and Gretchen do to cope? Why Boston Legal? Is it because of the flamingos? Join us as we barely scratch the surface on this window into our writer souls.
