This week’s special topic is all about…writing tools!

Which apps I use to write and for organizing research, the environment and context in which I write, and what I like to do for inspiration to become a better writer. If you’re looking to shake things up this year and adopt new workflows or technology to jumpstart your writing career, this is the show for you.
