This is an old recording I found (or that found me) while I was working with audio files, and it seemed like the perfect timing to give you a sense of what it's like to work with me in a group writing session... which I offer regularly in my Circle for Real-Life Writers and when I facilitate writing retreats. Even if you don't want to write, the first part of the recording talks about some of the push and pull between different parts of your mind that make it hard to get traction with writing. In case you were wondering.

I hope you enjoy it.
