Celebrating 5 Years of Buildwriting | Ep 87

Hey writers and creators, Mechi here! After a much-needed break, I’m back celebrating five years of the Buildwriting blog and podcast. I’ve realized the key to growth is showing up—even when it’s messy. That’s why I’m committing to weekly episodes, new guest interviews, and building a real community for writers of all backgrounds. We’re launching book clubs, spoken word sessions, and interactive workshops, all shaped by YOUR feedback. So, subscribe, share, and join us every Monday and Friday as we level up our writing journeys together!

Stay inspired every week with fresh creative writing prompts, insider tips on crafting poetry and short prose, and personal stories from a fellow writer’s journey—delivered straight to your inbox. Join the BuildWriting newsletter : https://buildwriting.com/newsletter/
