writing class radioCrafting a Story is Like Solving a PuzzleToday’s episode is about two things. 1. A great way to tell a relationship story is to choose a subject or activity that’s dear to the person you’re writing about. Then, describe that activity. 2. Stories are puzzles. There’s a false binary idea that writers are creative and therefore not good at math. We disagree. You have to tap into both sides of the brain to create good stories because there’s a mathematical equation in stories.Writing about a subject or activity or in today’s case, a puzzle, is also a great way to get publi...

Have you seen the Netflix documentary yet? If not, I encourage you to watch it, and if you have seen it, then you probably have a lot of thoughts, questions, opinions and concerns surrounding social media.
Recently, I was invited to discuss this documentary with a few other female entrepreneurs who use social media heavily for their businesses. Topics include how it influences us, manipulates us and controls our experiences.
