Like any skill, writing requires practice. However, as any aspiring writer knows, it's hard to find the time and motivation to write every week, much less every day. We feel the same way. So we've started a writing prompt challenge. Every week we write a story in 30 minutes that has to include 3 randomly generated words. Then, we read the stories, talk about writing, and talk about stories listeners have sent in. We're here to help you do the write thing.

DTWT Ep 160: (June - Heroes) Sister, Curtain, Wreck, Amputate
This week we read Convalescence by KomatoSoup   The words used in the stories we talked about were: Sister, Curtain, Wreck, and Amputate.   Next week's words are Write, Visual, Soak, Perceive.   Of course, this episode does come with a big announcement. We will be taking an indefinite hiatus from producing the podcast. Both our hosts just have too much going on to commit to the podcast as much as we would like to. We aim to keep posting the words and commenting under stories, both more regularly than before. If and when we do come back, we'll likely do the podcast once a month.   It's been a wonderful experience producing Do The Write Thing, and we truly appreciate all the support we receive. Every story we had submitted was meaningful encouragement, and we're honored to have helped inspire y'all create the stories y'all did. Thank you.   As usual, if you want to write along with us, go to reddit.com/r/dothewritething to post your story, or send it in an email at writethingcast@gmail.com. You can also be alerted when new words (or announcements) come out by following @writethingcast on Twitter.   Intro and Outro music is Antidepresseur by [friendzoned]
