Hi all. I'M DD Ward. I deal with bipolar, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain. Yay! A reminder that all my stuff is free. It's on the blog: ddwardiswriting.blogspot.com. It's on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/ddwardiswrit.... And it's on my webpage: ddwardiswriting.com.

What, you thought the only requirement of being a writer was to, y'know, write? NO! Where's your Instagram Reels? What about your moodboards? WHY ARE YOU NOT ON TIKTOK? On this week's BLF, we talk about being made to shake your booty when you just wanna write. #writesky #writingcommunity #podcast
