Dear fellow writer,
Welcome to Swordswings, my monthly podcast series for writers in motion. These recordings are intended for you to listen to when you’re moving around — which is a great way to get your writing moving as well.
Today's episode on “Writing and Wellbeing” is excerpted from my WriteSPACE Special Event with
, which dates back to April 2023. Sophie is a poet, best-selling novelist, and Associate Professor of Learning and Teaching in Creative Writing at Teesside University in the UK. Her wonderful Substack newsletter, Restorative Writing, can help you develop a writing practice nurtured by mindfulness, pleasure, and wellbeing.Enjoy!
You can listen to my monthly Swordswings series wherever you download your podcasts. Love the music? Check out the website of singer-songwriter Caitlin Smith, co-writer and performer of our gospel-infused theme song, “Hour of Gold.”
The full video of my 2022 WriteSPACE Special Event with Sophie Nicholls is available to WriteSPACE members in the Videos section of your WriteSPACE or WS Studio Library. You can also find downloadable audio files and transcripts of all Swordswings episodes in the WriteSPACE Audio section.
Kia pai tō koutou rā (have a great day) – and keep on writing!
