Ep: 24: Reading and creating in the time of COVID-19
In this our first episode recorded post COVID-19, Fable and the Verbivore discuss from our respective quarantines some of the challenges associated with creating and reading during this timeframe.
We talk about what our writing looks like right now, what books we are reading, movies we are watching, and some short YouTube videos on writing and story that we’re learning from. Along with these topics, we dive into movie adaptations and how it’s the details that set a story apart.
We also continue to discuss how we each have approached the #100dayproject, and what things we’ve been doing to prepare and motivate ouselves. As we mentioned in our last episode, we would love for you to join in this exercise and look forward to hearing what ideas and words you create. The hashtag we are using on Instagram is #imitatelikeawriter.
We hope that you are staying safe and finding time to practice self-care! Keep creating and putting your voice out there!
Into the woods,
Fable & The Verbivore
