Ep.212 The Story Will Guide You (Luke - Creative Writing)

(Luke - Creative Writing)   In this episode, I had the honour to have Luke as my guest. He shared with me his interest in creative writing as his hobby.   Definition: Creative writing is any writing that goes outside the bounds of normal professional, journalistic, academic, or technical forms of literature, typically identified by an emphasis on narrative craft, character development, and the use of literary tropes or with various traditions of poetry and poetics. Due to the looseness of the definition, it is possible for writing such as feature stories to be considered creative writing, even though they fall under journalism, because the content of features is specifically focused on narrative and character development.

She shared with me her interest in being a beta reader her hobby.   Definition: A beta reader is usually a test reader of an unreleased work of literature or other writing (similar to beta testing in software), who gives feedback from the point of view of an average reader to the author. A beta reader provides advice and comments in the opinions of an average reader. This feedback is used by the writer to fix remaining issues with plot, pacing, and consistency. The beta reader also serves as a sounding board to see if the book has had the intended intellectual and/or emotional impact on the target market. Wikipedia contributors. (2022, February 1).

Show schedule update

Hello everyone,   So my wife and I are expecting our second child soon and running a podcast while raising 2 children might be a little challenging to release new episodes every week as I did for the last 4 years. The good news is that the show is not ending, I'm just going to be releasing a new episode at the end of every month. So after this week's episode (end of August), the next one will be released at the end of September and then the next one at the end of the following month and so forth. Eventually, I would like to get back to once a week but that will be happening later on in the future.   My family is very important to me and I can not wait to spend more time with them and try out any hobby my children pick up.  Since this is a one-man show (recording, producing, editing and marketing) I want to make sure I provide you all with quality content and for now it will be best if I release once a month (for now).   I want to say thank you for all the support after all these years! I've truly loved this journey and can not wait to learn more about all your hobbies. With this being said, by all means, feel free to reach out to me if you want to come to share your hobby :)   Thank you,   Time For Your Hobby links: Website: Time For Your Hobby website (click to find Apple, Spotify, Google and more) Merch: TFYHpodcast  Instagram: @timeforyourhobby Twitter: @tfyhpodcast Podchaser: Time For Your Hobby  Patreon: Timeforyourhobby  Email: timeforyourhobby@gmail.com     If you like this episode and think it can be helpful to someone you are more than welcome to share it and leave a review.
