Episode 209 #StartYourWriterThing

This week, it&#8217;s Jess and I (KJ) talking to Olivia and Meghan from the <a href="https://www.marginallypodcast.com/">Marginally podcast</a>, which we love for its frank conversations about challenges and setbacks and day jobs and the struggle to keep your butt in the chair (sound familiar?).<br/><br/>We talked about finding your writing people, the joys of keeping that day job, and the things that grow from grabbing a friend and starting the thing you wish someone else would start. <br/><br/>#AmWriting<br/><br/>Meghan: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781525836268">Followers</a> by Megan Angelo<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780525521143">The Glass Hotel</a> by Emily St John Mandel<br/><br/>Olivia: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781909621664">Emma</a> by Jane Austen (and all the movies)<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781643133256">Independence Square</a> by A.D.
