About this podcast
If you have The Story rattling around in your brain but have yet to have found THE way to put it on paper, join me, a writer newbie who talks with the experts. We will hear from published writers of the San Gabriel Writers' League as they share their passion for words on a page. These members have hundreds of years of combined experience in the writing industry, and they are thrilled to share their journey.
Grab the Big Chief, electronic device or voice recorder and take notes because once you hear what they have to share, you will be compelled to start your very own writing journey. You'll find no pattern or hard and fast rule of how to do it. The most enlightening stories are how our guests found their own path to write and continue to work at perfecting their craft.
