We write on the bench, we snack on the bench and you guessed it - we procrastinate on the bench! Today we are joined for coffee and (gluten free!) muffins by activist, author and friend Stephanie Hammerwold for our monthly #BenchWriteClub Episode. Join us as we snack, write and try not to feel belittled by a judgmental chicken. Help solve the mystery of “Romeo & Juliet” and who sang it best in a parallel universe.

We write on the bench, we snack on the bench but most of all, we procrastinate on the bench! Today hilarity ensues while we discuss balls, tiny wishes and even a teeny genie. Join us as we experience pretty much every emotion on the bench, from frustration at life to wonderment that we didn’t die when we were in our 20s! We do finally share the shady events that went down in Rome years back, when Siana had Dance Power and Tricia met Ricky!
