Woo hoo! It's finally here! This is our kick-off chapter, and I couldn't be happier! It took longer than hoped, but now that it's here, it's time to celebrate!

In this chapter, we introduce ourselves and the show. We discuss critique groups, both face-to-face and online, and we are lucky enough to have an interview with Alex Cabal of Scribophile.com! We wrap up with a wonderful discussion on Toff's Rule of Firsts, and leave you with a writing prompt!

The mp3: Season1, Chapter 1

The writing prompt: Apply Toff's Rule of FirstsĀ  by creating a new place, character and object during an action scene. When complete, email to info@thewritepodcast.com, and the best one will be posted on the blog.

P.S... if you haven't noticed, I have cleverly decided to call our episodes "chapters" instead. Yes, it's awesome, and yes... it's almost too late.
