Writing podcast host: Allison

Writing podcast host, warm, passionate, and encouraging

Prompt: A warm, thoughtful female voice for a writing-and-authors podcast. Her gentle mid-register is passionate and encouraging, treating the craft with love, engaged and sincere. There's a just-write-the-bad-draft permission in her tone. The sound of a host who makes a blocked writer feel unblocked by the end of the episode.

Script: Here is a secret every published writer knows and every beginner refuses to believe: the first draft is supposed to be bad. It's supposed to be a mess. You're not writing to be good, you're writing to have something to fix, and you cannot edit a blank page.
