The concept of the Story Machine is a tool learned while during my undergrad. This tool is something that can be used to stimulate your imagination, help you cross genres if need be, and be perpetual! Don't cheat yourself out of the dynamic stories you house. Let the Story Machine be your secret weapon. Keep writing!

Not all writers are the same, and the race of an author should not determine what genre they write! In this bonus episode, our host discusses her recent trip to a bookstore and she wound up feeling invisible and irritated.

"As writers, we are to record what we see" - James Baldwin On this episode of The Writer's Block, we will tackle the subject of writing being a form of activism. Expression comes in various forms, from music to dancing,and especially writing/literature. In this day and time, I encourage all writers to never stifle your voice!

BONUS PODCAST ALERT! On this bonus episode of The Writer's Block, we want to put the theme of revamping on your minds. There  may be stories you've started, and haven't picked them up in a while; that's okay. You can pick them back up, add new characters, give old characters new life. They're your stories. 

On this episode of The Writer's Block, we're going to tackle the topic of "BookTubers", which is one of many tools a writer can have on their side. A BookTuber is simply, a person who does YouTube videos, promoting books from various authors.

Happy Independence Day!! On today's episode of The Writer's Block, we're going to divulge into the topic of "7 Writing Tools". As writers, we have a  toolbox that we can utilize to not only jump start our writing, but these tools can refresh as well as sharpen our skills

Happy Birthday to all writers born on today!!! In this episode of The Writer's Block, I want to encourage all of my writers to honor your story telling, your ability to weave a story together. Never doubt that intricate part of your gift to write. As writers, we must always exercise our storytelling with the world.

This week's episode recaps on "Writing Time". Not only should you make time and space to write, but you must utilize that time and space to write, no matter what. A BIG shout out to Big Black Chapters on Facebook, for allowing me to use their platform to encourage fellow writers!

We're coming a day early with a special podcast! In this episode, we're going to tackle something that's not often discussed during Black History - Black Horror. #AreYouListening?
