Ultimately, I want to help people become better writers. Sometimes it's as simple as learning how to effectively use a semi-colon but other times we have to learn how to break down our own ideas of how the world works to better re-create it. Only a Notebook is my attempt to break down my own ideas to learn and understand why I and others write the way we do. Most of these podcasts pertain to short stories and novels, but they're for anyone who wants to learn how to write. By Nathaniel Mellor
