Episode 28 - National Novel Writing Month!

Sun, 24 Dec 2023 19:40:00 -0000

I've missed you!! After a pretty eventful couple of months, I wanted to hop on the mic and give you guys an update on some of the stuff that's been going on lately! Specifically, participating in National Novel Writing Month, a writing challenge during November where I attempted to write 50k words in one month. Did I achieve that goal? And if so, HOW?? Well, dear listener, this bite size episode will dive deep into the process and emotions of trying this wild challenge.

Going into the 2024 year with some momentum feels good, and I want YOU for S'more Stories next year! Seriously, if you're interested in writing or stories, let's chat. You can DM me @colbymchugh or shoot us an email at Unevencartoon@gmail.com.

In this episode, we welcome close friend of the pod, writer, and teacher Sarah Packer to the S'more Stories campfire!

Episode 23 - with Bishop Harry

Even though I am the biggest introvert I know, sometimes I venture out into the real world and SOMETIMES, great interactions happen. Like my first meeting with this episode's guest, Bishop Harry! Bishop randomly started talking to me outside of a coffee shop and we had a good time getting to know each other! Since I love some spontaneity, of course I had to ask and see if Bishop would be interested in chatting on S'more Stories! This is a wide ranging conversation that I really enjoyed, so be sure to support Bishop and check his links below!
